Detailed Solution

The solubility product (Ksp) and solubility (S) are inversely related: a lower Ksp indicates less solubility, and a higher Ksp indicates more solubility. Given the Ksp values for the sulfides:

  • CuS: 10−3110−31
  • Ag₂S: 10−4410−44
  • HgS: 10−5410−54

The solubility is in the inverse order of Ksp values:

Solubility: CuS>Ag2S>HgS

Thus, among CuS, Ag₂S, and HgS, CuS is the most soluble, and HgS is the least soluble.

Order of solubilities:

CuS>Ag2S>HgS
