What is the minimum pH required to prevent the precipitation of ZnS in a solution that is0.01 M ZnCl2 and saturated with0.10 M H2S ?

Given Ksp=10-21, Ka1×Ka2=10-20

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

ZnS⇌Zn2++S2-

Ksp=Zn2+S2-

ZnCl2→Zn2++2Cl-





S2-=KspZn2+=10-210.01

⇒S2-=10-19

Ka1.Ka2=H+2S2-H2S

Where,Ka1=[HS-][H+]H2S

Ka2=H+S2-HS-

So,10-20=H+2S2-H2S=H+210-190.1

⇒  H+=0.1

⇒pH=-log⁡H+=1
