  • question_answer
    Solubility product of silver bromide is \[5.0\times {{10}^{-13}}\]. The quantity of potassium bromid (molar mass taken as 120 g \[mo{{l}^{-1}}\]) to be added to 1 L of 0.05 M solution of silver nitrate to start the precipitatin of AgBr is

    A) \[1.2\times {{10}^{-10}}g\]     

    B) \[1.2\times {{10}^{-9}}g\]

    C) \[6.2\times {{10}^{-5}}g\]       

    D) \[5.0\times {{10}^{-8}}g\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[[AgBr]=[A{{g}^{+}}]=0.05M\] \[{{K}_{sp}}[AgBr]=[A{{g}^{+}}][B{{r}^{-}}]\] \[\Rightarrow [B{{r}^{-}}]=\frac{{{K}_{sp}}[AgBr]}{[A{{g}^{+}}]}\] \[=\frac{5.0\times {{10}^{-13}}}{0.05}={{10}^{-11}}M[mol{{L}^{-1}}]\] Moles of KBr needed to precipitate AgBr \[=[B{{r}^{-}}]\times V={{10}^{-11}}mol\,{{L}^{-1}}\times 1\,L={{10}^{-11}}mol\] Therefore, amount of KBr needed to precipitate AgBr \[={{10}^{-11}}mol\times 120gmo{{l}^{-1}}=1.2\times {{10}^{-9}}g\]
