    Identify the correct order of solubility in aqueous medium.

    A)  \[CuS>ZnS>N{{a}_{2}}S\]

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Ionic compounds are more soluble in water or in aqueous medium. Ionic character oc 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 \[N{{a}_{2}}S>ZnS>CuS\]
