The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect order of solubility products (Ksp) for the given precipitated compounds, we will analyze each pair of compounds step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze AgCl and PbCl2 - **Dissociation**: - AgCl dissociates into Ag⁺ and Cl⁻: \[ \text{AgCl} \rightleftharpoons \text{Ag}^+ + \text{Cl}^- \] - Let the solubility of AgCl be \( S \). Therefore, \( K_{sp} = S^2 \). - PbCl2 dissociates into Pb²⁺ and 2Cl⁻: \[ \text{PbCl}_2 \rightleftharpoons \text{Pb}^{2+} + 2\text{Cl}^- \] - Let the solubility of PbCl2 be \( S' \). Therefore, \( K_{sp} = [\text{Pb}^{2+}][\text{Cl}^-]^2 = S' \cdot (2S')^2 = 4S'^3 \). - **Comparison**: - Since \( K_{sp} \) for PbCl2 is greater than that for AgCl, this order is correct: \[ K_{sp}(\text{PbCl}_2) > K_{sp}(\text{AgCl}) \] ### Step 2: Analyze Al(OH)3 and Zn(OH)2 - **Dissociation**: - Al(OH)3 dissociates into Al³⁺ and 3OH⁻: \[ \text{Al(OH)}_3 \rightleftharpoons \text{Al}^{3+} + 3\text{OH}^- \] - Let the solubility of Al(OH)3 be \( S \). Therefore, \( K_{sp} = S \cdot (3S)^3 = 27S^4 \). - Zn(OH)2 dissociates into Zn²⁺ and 2OH⁻: \[ \text{Zn(OH)}_2 \rightleftharpoons \text{Zn}^{2+} + 2\text{OH}^- \] - Let the solubility of Zn(OH)2 be \( S' \). Therefore, \( K_{sp} = S' \cdot (2S')^2 = 4S'^3 \). - **Comparison**: - Al(OH)3 precipitates first due to lower OH⁻ concentration, thus having a lower Ksp: \[ K_{sp}(\text{Al(OH)}_3) < K_{sp}(\text{Zn(OH)}_2) \] - This order is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze BaCO3 and MgCO3 - **Dissociation**: - BaCO3 dissociates into Ba²⁺ and CO3²⁻: \[ \text{BaCO}_3 \rightleftharpoons \text{Ba}^{2+} + \text{CO}_3^{2-} \] - MgCO3 dissociates into Mg²⁺ and CO3²⁻: \[ \text{MgCO}_3 \rightleftharpoons \text{Mg}^{2+} + \text{CO}_3^{2-} \] - **Comparison**: - As we move down the group in the periodic table, the solubility decreases. Therefore, MgCO3 has a higher solubility than BaCO3: \[ K_{sp}(\text{MgCO}_3) > K_{sp}(\text{BaCO}_3) \] - This order is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze Ag2S and MnS - **Dissociation**: - Ag2S dissociates into 2Ag⁺ and S²⁻: \[ \text{Ag}_2\text{S} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{Ag}^+ + \text{S}^{2-} \] - Let the solubility of Ag2S be \( S \). Therefore, \( K_{sp} = (2S)^2 \cdot S = 4S^3 \). - MnS dissociates into Mn²⁺ and S²⁻: \[ \text{MnS} \rightleftharpoons \text{Mn}^{2+} + \text{S}^{2-} \] - Let the solubility of MnS be \( S' \). Therefore, \( K_{sp} = S' \cdot S' = S'^2 \). - **Comparison**: - Ag2S precipitates first (lower Ksp) compared to MnS: \[ K_{sp}(\text{Ag}_2\text{S}) < K_{sp}(\text{MnS}) \] - The order given (Ksp of Ag2S > Ksp of MnS) is incorrect. ### Conclusion The incorrect order of solubility products (Ksp) is: \[ K_{sp}(\text{Ag}_2\text{S}) > K_{sp}(\text{MnS}) \] ### Final Answer The correct answer is option 4. ---

To determine the incorrect order of solubility products (Ksp) for the given precipitated compounds, we will analyze each pair of compounds step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze AgCl and PbCl2 - **Dissociation**: - AgCl dissociates into Ag⁺ and Cl⁻: \[ \text{AgCl} \rightleftharpoons \text{Ag}^+ + \text{Cl}^- \] - Let the solubility of AgCl be \( S \). Therefore, \( K_{sp} = S^2 \). ...
