Question

Some chemists at ISRO wished to prepare a saturated solution of a silver compound and they wanted it to have the highest concentration of silver ion possible. Which of the following compounds would they use ?
Given:-
Ksp (AgCl) = 1.8 × 10-10
Ksp(AgBr) = 5.0 × 10-13,
Ksp (Ag2CrO4) = 2.4 ×10-12 [use = 0.84] 

Options

A.AgCl
B.AgBr
C.Ag2CrO4
D.All of these

Solution

 Find the [Ag+] in all the saturated solutions.
[Ag+]in AgCl = M;
[Ag+]in AgBr = M
[Ag+]in AgrCrO4 = 2   
 ⇒ [Ag+] is maximum in saturated solution of Ag2CrO4.
