    Which one of the following arrangements represents the correct order of solubilities of sparingly soluble soluble salts\[\operatorname{H}{{\operatorname{g}}_{2}}{{\operatorname{CI}}_{2}},C{{r}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}},\]\[BaS{{O}_{4}}\] and \[\text{CrC}{{\text{l}}_{3}}\] respectively?      JEE Main  Online Paper (Held On 22 April 2013)

    A)  \[BaS{{O}_{4}}>H{{g}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}>C{{r}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}>CrC{{l}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[BaS{{O}_{4}}>H{{g}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}>CrC{{l}_{3}}>C{{r}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[BaS{{O}_{4}}>CrC{{l}_{3}}>H{{g}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}>C{{r}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[H{{g}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}>BaS{{O}_{4}}>CrC{{l}_{3}}>C{{r}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[C{{r}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\underset{2s}{\mathop{2{{C}^{+++}}}}\,+3SO_{4}^{-\,-}\] \[{{K}_{sp}}={{(2s)}^{2}}\times {{(3s)}^{3}}=4{{s}^{2}}\times 27{{s}^{3}}=108{{s}^{5}}\] \[s={{\left( \frac{{{K}_{sp}}}{108} \right)}^{1/5}}\] \[H{{g}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\underset{2s}{\mathop{2H{{g}^{2+}}}}\,+\underset{2s}{\mathop{2C{{l}^{-}}}}\,\] \[{{K}_{sp}}={{(2s)}^{2}}\times {{(2s)}^{2}}=16{{s}^{4}}\] \[s={{\left( \frac{{{K}_{sp}}}{16} \right)}^{1/4}}\] \[BaS{{O}_{4}}\underset{s}{\mathop{B{{a}^{++}}}}\,+\underset{s}{\mathop{SO_{4}^{-\,-}}}\,\] \[{{K}_{sp}}={{s}^{2}}\] \[s=\sqrt{{{K}_{sp}}}\] \[CrC{{l}_{3}}\underset{s}{\mathop{C{{r}^{3+}}}}\,+\underset{3s}{\mathop{3C{{l}^{-}}}}\,\] \[{{K}_{sp}}=s\times {{(3s)}^{3}}-27{{s}^{4}}\] \[s={{\left( \frac{{{K}_{sp}}}{27} \right)}^{1/4}}\] Hence the correct order of solubilities of salts is  \[\sqrt{{{K}_{sp}}}>{{\left( \frac{{{K}_{sp}}}{16} \right)}^{1/4}}>{{\left( \frac{{{K}_{sp}}}{27} \right)}^{1/4}}>{{\left( \frac{{{K}_{sp}}}{108} \right)}^{1/5}}\]
