The \(K_{sp}\) of \(Ag_2CrO_4, AgCl, AgBr\) and \(AgI\) are respectively, \(1.1 \times 10^{-12}, 1.8 \times 10^{-10},\)\( 5.0 \times 10^{-13}, 8.3 \times 10^{-17}.\) Which one of the following salts will precipitate last if \(AgNO_3\) solution is added to the solution containing equal moles of \(NaCl, NaBr, NaI\) and \(Na_2CrO_4\) ?

  1. A \(AgBr\)
  2. B \(Ag_2CrO_4\)
  3. C \(AgI\)
  4. D \(AgCl\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Ag_2CrO_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{CrO}_{4} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{Ag}^{+}+\mathrm{CrO}_{4}^{2-}\) solubility product \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sp}}=(2 \mathrm{s})^{2} \times \mathrm{S}=4 \mathrm{s}^{3}\)
