MY and NY3, two nearly insoluble salts, have the same Ksp values of 6.2 1013 at room temperature. Which statement would be true in regard to MY and NY3?
- AThe salts MY and NY3 are more soluble in 0.5 M KY than in pure water.
- BThe addition of the salt of KY to solution of MY and NY3 will have no effect on their solubilities.
- CThe molar solubilities of MY and NY3 in water are identical.
- DThe molar solubility of MY in water is less than that of NY3.

Correct answer: D
MY ⇌ M+ + Y–
s s s
Ksp = s.s = s2
s =
= 7.87 × 10–7 mol L–1
NY3 ⇌ N+ + 3Y–
s s 3s
Ksp = s.(3s)3 = 27s4
6.2 × 10–13 = 27s4
s = 3.89 × 10–4 mol L–1
Hence, molar solubility of MY in water is less than
that of NY3.
