    Which of the following salts is most soluble?

    A) \[B{{i}_{2}}{{S}_{3}}({{K}_{sp}}=1\times {{10}^{-17}})\]

    B)  \[MnS({{K}_{sp}}=7\times {{10}^{-16}})\]

    C)  \[CuS({{K}_{sp}}=8\times {{10}^{-37}})\]

    D)  \[A{{g}_{2}}S({{K}_{sp}}=6\times {{10}^{-51}})\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     \[B{{i}_{2}}{{S}_{3}}\underset{2s}{\mathop{2B{{i}^{3+}}}}\,+\underset{3s}{\mathop{3{{S}^{2-}}}}\,\] \[{{K}_{sp}}={{(2s)}^{2}}{{(3s)}^{3}}=108{{s}^{5}}\] \[108\,{{s}^{5}}=1\times {{10}^{-17}}\] \[s={{\left( \frac{1\times {{10}^{-17}}}{108} \right)}^{1/5}}=1.56\times {{10}^{-4}}\] \[MnS\underset{s}{\mathop{M{{n}^{2+}}}}\,+\underset{s}{\mathop{{{S}^{2-}}}}\,\] \[{{K}_{sp}}={{s}^{2}}\] \[s=\sqrt{{{K}_{sp}}}=\sqrt{7\times {{10}^{-16}}}\] \[=2.64\times {{10}^{-8}}\] \[CuS\underset{s}{\mathop{C{{u}^{2+}}}}\,+\underset{s}{\mathop{{{S}^{2-}}}}\,\] \[{{K}_{sp}}={{s}^{2}}\] \[8\times {{10}^{-37}}={{s}^{2}}\] \[s=\sqrt{8\times {{10}^{-37}}}=0.89\times {{10}^{-18}}\] \[A{{g}_{2}}S\underset{2s}{\mathop{2A{{g}^{+}}}}\,+\underset{s}{\mathop{{{S}^{2-}}}}\,\] \[{{K}_{sp}}=4{{s}^{3}}\] \[4{{s}^{3}}=6\times {{10}^{-51}}\] \[s=\sqrt[3]{\frac{6\times {{10}^{-51}}}{4}}\] \[=\sqrt[3]{1.5\times {{10}^{-51}}}=1.14\times {{10}^{-17}}\] The solubility of \[\text{B}{{\text{i}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{S}}_{\text{3}}}\] is maximum. Hence, it is the most soluble.
