Q52 · Chemistry

The correct order of solubility of the given salts in water at 298 K is

SaltKspK_{sp} at 298 K
AgBr5.0×10−135.0\times10^{-13}
Zn(OH)2\mathrm{Zn(OH)_2}1.0×10−151.0\times10^{-15}
Hg2Cl2\mathrm{Hg_2Cl_2}1.3×10−181.3\times10^{-18}

The figure, described in words

Stem drawn table: salts AgBr, Zn(OH)2, Hg2Cl2 with Ksp at 298 K values (5.0e-13, 1.0e-15, 1.3e-18).

  1. 1Hg2Cl2>Zn(OH)2>AgBr\mathrm{Hg_2Cl_2>Zn(OH)_2>AgBr}
  2. 2AgBr>Zn(OH)2>Hg2Cl2\mathrm{AgBr>Zn(OH)_2>Hg_2Cl_2}
  3. 3Hg2Cl2>AgBr>Zn(OH)2\mathrm{Hg_2Cl_2>AgBr>Zn(OH)_2}
  4. 4Zn(OH)2>AgBr>Hg2Cl2\mathrm{Zn(OH)_2>AgBr>Hg_2Cl_2}Official answer
