At room temperature, MY and , two nearly insoluble salts, have the same values of . The true statement regarding MY and is:
The molar solubility of MY in water is less than that of .
The salts MY and are more soluble in 0.5 M KY than in pure water.
The addition of the salt of KY to a solution of MY and will have no effect on their solubilities.
The molar solubilities of MY and in water are identical.
Let the molar solubility of MY be .
Let the molar solubility of be .
Comparing and , we find that . Therefore, the molar solubility of MY in water is less than that of . Furthermore, the addition of KY will decrease the solubility of both salts due to the common ion () effect. Thus, the other statements are false.
