A solution contains 0.010MClX− and 0.010MCrOX4X2−. Solid AgNOX3 is added without volume change. Given Ksp(AgCl)=1.6×10−10 and Ksp(AgX2CrOX4)=1.9×10−12, the concentration of ClX− remaining when AgX2CrOX4 just begins to precipitate is
A1.16×10−5M
B1.38×10−5M
C2.32×10−5M
D1.60×10−8M
Answer: A
AgX2CrOX4 starts when [AgX+]=1.9×10−12/0.010=1.38×10−5M (AgCl had started earlier, at 1.6×10−8M). Then [ClX−]=1.6×10−10/1.38×10−5=1.16×10−5M.
