Correct answer: 2

  1. Write the dissolution equilibrium

Zn(OH)2(s)⇌Zn2++2OH−Zn(OH)_2(s) \rightleftharpoons Zn^{2+} + 2OH^-Zn(OH)2​(s)⇌Zn2++2OH−

Given,

Ksp=[Zn2+][OH−]2=2×10−20K_{sp} = [Zn^{2+}][OH^-]^2 = 2 \times 10^{-20}Ksp​=[Zn2+][OH−]2=2×10−20

  1. Effect of common ion from 0.1 M NaOH0.1\,M\ NaOH0.1M NaOH

Since NaOHNaOHNaOH is a strong base,

[OH−]≈0.1 M[OH^-] \approx 0.1\,M[OH−]≈0.1M

Let the molar solubility of Zn(OH)2Zn(OH)_2Zn(OH)2​ be sss. Then,

[Zn2+]=s[Zn^{2+}] = s[Zn2+]=s

Because 0.1 M0.1\,M0.1M is much larger than the contribution 2s2s2s from dissolution, we take

[OH−]≈0.1[OH^-] \approx 0.1[OH−]≈0.1

  1. Apply solubility product expression

Ksp=s(0.1)2K_{sp} = s(0.1)^2Ksp​=s(0.1)2

So,

s=2×10−20(0.1)2s = \frac{2 \times 10^{-20}}{(0.1)^2}s=(0.1)22×10−20​

s=2×10−2010−2=2×10−18 Ms = \frac{2 \times 10^{-20}}{10^{-2}} = 2 \times 10^{-18}\,Ms=10−22×10−20​=2×10−18M

  1. Match with the given form

The solubility is given as

x×10−18 Mx \times 10^{-18}\,Mx×10−18M

Comparing,

x=2x = 2x=2

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 2, which matches our result.
