JEE · NEET Previous Year Question

is passed into one of a solution containing 0.1 mole of and 0.01 mole of till the sulphide ion concentration reaches moles. Which one of the following statements is true? [ of and are and respectively]

Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: B. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. AOnly ZnS precipitates
  2. BBoth CuS and ZnS precipitate
  3. COnly CuS precipitates
  4. DNo precipitation occurs

Correct answer: B

Solution

(b) : Precipitation occurs only when ionic product exceeds the value of solubility product.
of a solution containing 0.1 mole of , 0.01 mole of and mole of . Let us calculate the ionic product in each case.
Ionic product of

Ionic product .
Ionic product of

But it has
Ionic product
Both and CuS have less values than their respective ionic products so and both precipitates.
