Although AgCN(s) is very insoluble (Ksp = 2.20 × 10⁻¹⁶), it will dissolve in higher concentrations of aqueous CN⁻ because of the formation of the complex ion Ag(CN)₂⁻ (Kf = 5.30 × 10¹⁸). What mass of AgCN will dissolve in 1.00 L of 0.560 M NaCN? (Ignore any volume change caused by the dissolving AgCN(s).)
