    If \[{{K}_{sp}}\]of \[A{{g}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]is \[8\times {{10}^{-12}},\]the molar solubility of \[A{{g}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]in \[0.1\,M\,AgN{{O}_{3}}\]is [JEE Main Online Paper Held On 12-Jan-2019 Evening]

    A) \[8\times {{10}^{-11}}M\]                                

    B) \[8\times {{10}^{-10}}M\]

    C) \[8\times {{10}^{-13}}M\]                    

    D)   \[8\times {{10}^{-12}}M\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the solubility of \[A{{g}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]be s. Then, \[A{{g}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\underset{2s}{\mathop{2A{{g}^{+}}}}\,+\underset{s}{\mathop{CO_{3}^{2-}}}\,\] \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\underset{0.1}{\mathop{A{{g}^{{}}}}}\,+\underset{0.1}{\mathop{NO_{3}^{-}}}\,\] \[[A{{g}^{+}}]=(2s+0.1)\] \[[CO_{3}^{2-}]=s\] \[{{K}_{sP}}={{[A{{g}^{+}}]}^{2}}[CO_{3}^{2-}]={{(2s+0.1)}^{2}}(s)\] \[=s\times (4{{s}^{2}}+0.01+0.4s)=4{{s}^{3}}+0.01s+0.4{{s}^{2}}\] Neglecting\[{{s}^{3}}\]and\[{{s}^{2}},\]we get\[8\times {{10}^{-12}}=0.01s\] \[s=\frac{8\times {{10}^{-12}}}{0.01}=8\times {{10}^{-10}}M\]
