Which of the following metal sulphide solutions will have the maximum concentration of cation ?

A

`MnS(K_(sp)=6.0xx10^(-16))`

B

`FeS(K_(sp)=1.1xx10^(-19))`

C

`ZnS(Ksp)1.2xx10^(-21))`

D

`CdS(K_(sp)=3.5xx10^(-29))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The concentration of cation will be decided by the solubility of the sulphide. If two or more compounds have the same ions ratio, the one with the larger `K_(sp)` will have the higher molar solubility. For each given sulphide,
`S=sqrt(K_(sp))`
Thus, MnS with the maximum `K_(sp)` has the maximum solubility and, hence, provides the maximum concentration of cations.
