  1. A \(7.0 \times 10^{-7}\)
  2. B \(7.5 \times 10^{-7}\)
  3. C \(8.0 \times 10^{-7}\)
  4. D \(4.9 \times 10^{-7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(7.0 \times 10^{-7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For BA,
\(\mathrm{BA}_{(\mathrm{s})} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{B}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+}+\mathrm{A}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{-}\)
Here, \(x=1, y=1\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sp}}=x^x \mathrm{y}^y \mathrm{~S}^{x+y}=(1)^1(1)^1 \mathrm{~S}^{1+1}=\mathrm{S}^2\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{~S}=\sqrt{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sp}}}=\sqrt{4.9 \times 10^{-13}}\) \(=7.0 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3}\)
