  • question_answer
    Identify the correct order of solubility in aqueous medium.

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

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

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

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

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