packing efficiency = 68%
therefore empty space
percentage = (100-68) = 32%

Addition of salt KY (having a
common ion Y–) decreases the solubility of MY and NY due to common ion effect.
Option (a) and (b) are wrong.
For salt MY , MY ↔ M+ + Y-
Ksp = (s)(s)
6.2 × 10-13 = s2
∴ s= √(6.2 × 10-13) = 10-7
for salt NY3 ,
NY3 ↔ N3+
+ 3Y-
Ksp = (s )(3s)3
Ksp = 27s4
s = [ (6.2 ×10−13)/27 ]1/4
s = 10-4
The molar solubility of MY in water is less
than of NY3
EoZn2+|Zn = − 0.76V and EoFe2+|Fe = −0.44V
Zinc has higher negative electrode potential than iron, iron cannot be coated
on zinc.
