Chemistry

Show by calculations whether MnS (Ksp = 5.6 ✕10-16) will precipitate when a 0.01 M solution ofMn+2 containing 0.02 M H+1 is saturated withH2S (0.1 M). For H2S,K1xK2 = 6.3 ✕ 10-22

a) [Mn+2][S-2] Ksp; no, aprecipitate will not form

b) [Mn+2][S-2] > Ksp; yes, aprecipitate will form     

c) [Mn+2][S-2] < Ksp; yes, aprecipitate will form

d) [Mn+2][S-2] > Ksp; no, aprecipitate will not form
