    Identify the correct order of solubility in aqueous medium.                                                    [NEET 2013]

    A)  \[CuS\,>\,Zn\,>\,N{{a}_{2}}S\]

    B)       \[ZnS\,>\,N{{a}_{2}}S\,\,>\,CuS\]

    C)  \[N{{a}_{2}}S\,\,>\,CuS\,>ZnS\]

    D)       \[N{{a}_{2}}S\,\,>\,ZnS\,>\,CuS\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Ionic compounds are more soluble in water or in aqueous medium.
    Ionic character \[\propto \] size of cation (if anion is same) The order of size of cation is
    \[N{{a}^{+}}>Z{{n}^{2+}}>C{{u}^{2+}}\]
    \[\therefore \]The order of ionic character and hence, of solubility in water is as\[N{{a}_{2}}S>ZnS>CuS\]
