    If \[{{K}_{sp}}\] for \[HgS{{O}_{4}}\] is \[6.4\times {{10}^{-5}},\] then solubility of its salt is:

    A)  \[6.4\times {{10}^{-5}}\,\text{mol}\,\,\text{litr}{{\text{e}}^{-1}}\]

    B)  \[6.4\times {{10}^{-3}}\text{ mol litr}{{\text{e}}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[8\times {{10}^{-6}}\text{ mol litr}{{\text{e}}^{-1}}\]

    D)  \[8\times {{10}^{-3}}\text{ mol litr}{{\text{e}}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given that, \[{{K}_{sp}}\] for \[HgS{{O}_{4}}=6.4\times {{10}^{-5}}\] \[HgS{{O}_{4}}\] is a binary salt, hence, for it, \[{{K}_{sp}}={{S}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[S=\sqrt{{{K}_{sp}}}\] \[=\sqrt{6.4\times {{10}^{-5}}}=8\times {{10}^{-3}}\,mol\text{/}litre\]
