MY and , two nearly insoluble salts, have the same values of at room temperature. Which statement would be true in regard to MY and ?
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 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 and that of be . For the salt MY: .
For the salt : .
Comparing the two solubilities, . Therefore, the molar solubility of MY in water is less than that of . Additionally, the addition of KY to the solutions introduces a common ion (), which will decrease the solubility of both salts due to the common ion effect (Le Chatelier's principle), making options B and C incorrect.
