Q.

What is the molar solubility of AgNO3 in a 0.1M H2S solution buffered at pH = 2 (K1 and K2 of H2S are 104 and 108 respectively) (Ksp of Ag2S = 4×103) (Note: No Ag2S precipitate should be formed)

Detailed Solution

pH = -log[H+]

[H+] = 10-2 =0.01 M

First dissociation of H2SH2SH++HS-

K1=[H+][HS-][H2S]

104=[0.01][HS-][0.1]

104×[0.1] = [0.01] [HS-]

1050.01 = [HS-]

[HS-] = 103M

second dissociation of H2SHS-H++S2-

K2=[H+][S2-][HS-]

108=[0.01][S2-][0.001]

108×[0.001] = [0.01] [S2-]

10110.01 = [S2-]

[S2-] = 109M

Ag2S2Ag++S2-

Ksp=[Ag+]2[S2-]

4×103 = [Ag+]2[10-9]

4×10310-9 = [Ag+]2

4×106 =  [Ag+]2

4×106 = [Ag+]

[Ag+] = 2000 M

Hence, the answer is 2000 M.
