Solution
For, Ag2CrO4⇌2Ag++CrO42-
solubility product
Ksp=(25)2×5=4s3
Ksp=(1.1×10−12)
S=34Ksp=0.65×10−4
For, AgCl⇌Ag++Cl-
Ksp=S×S(Ksp=1.8×10−10)
S=Ksp=1.34×10−5
For, AgBr⇌Ag++Br-
Ksp=S×S(Ksp=5×10-13)
S=Ksp=0.71×10−6
For, AgI⇌Ag++I-
Ksp=S×S(Ksp=8.3×10-17)
S=Ksp=0.9×10−8
therefore, the solubility of Ag2CrO4 is highest so it is precipitate last.
