Correct answer: C

  1. Let the salt dissolve with molar solubility sss.

  2. From the given options, the possible stoichiometries are:

    • XY→X++Y−XY \rightarrow X^+ + Y^-XY→X++Y−
    • XY2→X2++2Y−XY_2 \rightarrow X^{2+} + 2Y^-XY2​→X2++2Y−
    • X2Y→2X++Y2−X_2Y \rightarrow 2X^+ + Y^{2-}X2​Y→2X++Y2−
  3. For each case, write KspK_{sp}Ksp​ in terms of solubility sss:

    (i) For XYXYXY [X]=s,[Y]=s[X]=s,\quad [Y]=s[X]=s,[Y]=s Ksp=s2K_{sp}=s^2Ksp​=s2 Unit: M2M^2M2

    But the options for XYXYXY show M3M^3M3, so this is inconsistent. Hence XYXYXY is ruled out.

  4. For salts of type XY2XY_2XY2​ or X2YX_2YX2​Y:

    (ii) For XY2XY_2XY2​ XY2⇌X2++2Y−XY_2 \rightleftharpoons X^{2+}+2Y^-XY2​⇌X2++2Y− [X2+]=s,[Y−]=2s[X^{2+}] = s, \quad [Y^-]=2s[X2+]=s,[Y−]=2s Ksp=[X2+][Y−]2=s(2s)2=4s3K_{sp}=[X^{2+}][Y^-]^2=s(2s)^2=4s^3Ksp​=[X2+][Y−]2=s(2s)2=4s3

    (iii) For X2YX_2YX2​Y X2Y⇌2X++Y2−X_2Y \rightleftharpoons 2X^+ + Y^{2-}X2​Y⇌2X++Y2− [X+]=2s,[Y2−]=s[X^+]=2s, \quad [Y^{2-}]=s[X+]=2s,[Y2−]=s Ksp=[X+]2[Y2−]=(2s)2(s)=4s3K_{sp}=[X^+]^2[Y^{2-}]=(2s)^2(s)=4s^3Ksp​=[X+]2[Y2−]=(2s)2(s)=4s3

    So both have the same relation: Ksp=4s3K_{sp}=4s^3Ksp​=4s3

  5. From the solubility curve (read from the graph), the molar solubility is s=10−3 Ms = 10^{-3}\,Ms=10−3M

  6. Therefore, Ksp=4(10−3)3=4×10−9K_{sp}=4(10^{-3})^3=4\times 10^{-9}Ksp​=4(10−3)3=4×10−9

  7. Now compare with the options:

    • Option B: XY2, 1×10−9XY_2,\ 1\times 10^{-9}XY2​, 1×10−9 → incorrect
    • Option C: XY2, 4×10−9XY_2,\ 4\times 10^{-9}XY2​, 4×10−9 → matches
    • Option D: X2Y, 2×10−9X_2Y,\ 2\times 10^{-9}X2​Y, 2×10−9 → incorrect value
  8. Hence the correct option is: C: XY2, 4×10−9 M3\boxed{\text{C: } XY_2,\ 4\times 10^{-9}\,M^3}C: XY2​, 4×10−9M3​

  9. Comparison with stored correct answer:

    • Stored correct answer: C
    • Derived answer: C
    • They agree.
