Correct Answer: Options C and D.
Explanation:
- Under the
influence of a common ion, the solubility of one electrolyte is decreased. This is
known as the common ion effect.
- Due to the common ion
effect, the disassociation reaction of the weak species starts to occur in the
opposite direction.
- Common ion
effect can only take place if at least one electrolyte is weak and there is a
common ion present among the species.
- If both species are
strong, then they are $$100\%$$ disassociated. Thus, no equilibrium is set up
rather $$100\%$$ dissociation takes place.
1. $$BaCl_{2}$$ and
$$Ba(NO_{3})_{2}$$
Both have $$Ba^{2+}$$ as a common ion.
$$BaCl_{2}$$ is a salt of $$Ba(OH)_{2}$$ and $$HCl$$. $$Ba(NO_{3})_{2}$$ is a
salt of $$Ba(OH)_{2}$$ and $$HNO_{3}$$. Since all of these are strong acids and
bases, these two species don’t exhibit the common ion effect.
2. $$NaCl$$ and
$$HCl$$
Both have $$Cl^{-}$$ as a common ion.
$$NaCl$$ is a salt of $$Na(OH)$$ and $$HCl$$. $$HCl$$ is a strong acid itself.
Since all of these are strong acids and bases, these two species don’t exhibit the common ion effect.
3. $$NH_{4}OH$$ and
$$NH_{4}Cl$$
Both have $$NH_{4}^{+}$$ as a common ion.
$$NH_{4}OH$$ and $$NH_{4}Cl$$ are both weak species since $$NH_{4}^{+}$$ is a
weak species. Therefore, these two can exhibit the common ion effect.
4. $$AgCN$$ and $$KCN$$
Both have $$CN^{-}$$ as a common ion.
$$KCN$$ is a salt of a weak acid and strong base and $$AgCN$$ is a sparingly soluble salt, they have $$CN^-$$ ion in common. So they will show the common ion effect.
Hence, Options $$C$$ and $$D$$ will show the common ion effect.
