        Solubility product of a salt AB is\[1\times {{10}^{-8}}{{M}^{2}}\]in a solution in which the concentration of\[{{A}^{+}}\]ions is\[{{10}^{-3}}M\]. The salt will precipitate when the concentration of\[{{B}^{-}}\]ions is kept

    A)  between\[{{10}^{-8}}M\]to\[{{10}^{-7}}M\]

    B)  between\[{{10}^{-7}}M\]to\[{{10}^{-8}}M\]

    C)  \[>{{10}^{-5}}M\]

    D)  \[<{{10}^{-8}}M\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    A salt is precipitated only when the product of ionic concentration is more then its solubility product.  \[{{K}_{sp}}=1\times {{10}^{-8}}\] \[[{{A}^{+}}]={{10}^{-3}}M\] \[[{{B}^{-}}]=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-8}}}{{{10}^{-3}}}={{10}^{-5}}M\] So, AB will be precipitated only when the concentration of\[[{{B}^{-}}]\]is more than\[{{10}^{-5}}M\].
