JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 2nd September Morning Slot - No. 10)

For the following Assertion and Reason, the correct option is

Assertion (A): When Cu (II) and sulphide ions are mixed, they react together extremely quickly to give a solid.

Reason (R): The equilibrium constant of
Cu2+(aq) + S2–(aq) ⇌ CuS(s) is high because the solubility product is low.
(A) is false and (R) is true.
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the explanation for (A).
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the explanation for (A).
Both (A) and (R) are false.

Explanation

Ksp value of CuS is very low 10–36 (3.6 × 10–36) due to low Ksp value Cu+2 ion gets precipitated very quickly even with very low concentration of S–2 ion.
