Solution

The correct option is B [F]=3×103M
MgF2aMg2+a+2F2a+2bSrF2bSr2+b+2F2a+2b
KSP,MgF2=[Mg2+][F]29.5×109=a(2a+2b)2......(1)
KSP,SrF2=[Sr2+][F]24×109=b(2a+2b)2.....(2)
Divide equation (1) by equation (2)
9.5×1094×109=a(2a+2b)2b(2a+2b)2
2.375=ab
a=2.375b......(3)
Substitute (3) in (2)
4×109=b(2(2.375b)+2b)2
4×109=45.5625b3
b=0.0004444
Substitute this in (3)
a=2.375×0.0004444=0.001056
[F]=(2a+2b)=(2×0.001056+2×0.0004444)=3×103
