Correct answer: A

  1. Write the dissolution equilibrium

    Al(OH)3(s)⇌Al3++3OH−Al(OH)_3(s) \rightleftharpoons Al^{3+} + 3OH^-Al(OH)3​(s)⇌Al3++3OH−

  2. Write the solubility product expression

    Ksp=[Al3+][OH−]3K_{sp} = [Al^{3+}][OH^-]^3Ksp​=[Al3+][OH−]3

    Given: Ksp=2.4×10−24K_{sp} = 2.4 \times 10^{-24}Ksp​=2.4×10−24

  3. Use the common ion effect

    The solution already contains 0.2 M0.2\,M0.2M NaOHNaOHNaOH, so [OH−]≈0.2[OH^-] \approx 0.2[OH−]≈0.2

    Let the molar solubility of Al(OH)3Al(OH)_3Al(OH)3​ be sss.

    Then, [Al3+]=s[Al^{3+}] = s[Al3+]=s

    Since 0.20.20.2 is much larger than 3s3s3s, we take [OH−]≈0.2[OH^-] \approx 0.2[OH−]≈0.2

  4. Substitute into the KspK_{sp}Ksp​ expression

    2.4×10−24=s(0.2)32.4 \times 10^{-24} = s(0.2)^32.4×10−24=s(0.2)3

    Now, (0.2)3=0.008=8×10−3(0.2)^3 = 0.008 = 8 \times 10^{-3}(0.2)3=0.008=8×10−3

    So, s=2.4×10−248×10−3s = \frac{2.4 \times 10^{-24}}{8 \times 10^{-3}}s=8×10−32.4×10−24​

  5. Calculate sss

    s=2.48×10−24+3s = \frac{2.4}{8} \times 10^{-24+3}s=82.4​×10−24+3 s=0.3×10−21s = 0.3 \times 10^{-21}s=0.3×10−21 s=3×10−22 Ms = 3 \times 10^{-22} \text{ M}s=3×10−22 M

  6. Match with the options

    3×10−22\boxed{3 \times 10^{-22}}3×10−22​

    This corresponds to Option A.
