Solutions of RbBr and AgClO4 are mixed at room temperature, resulting in a solution that is 7.5 × 10–7 M RbBr and 1.5 × 10–5 M AgClO4. What is expected to happen to the new solution upon mixing? Ksp (AgBr)  =  1.8 × 10–10 Silver bromide will precipitate out of solution, leaving an unsaturated solution of AgBr. Nothing will happen since the silver and bromide ions are not in high enough concentration to form a precipitate. Silver bromide will precipitate out of solution, leaving a saturated AgBr solution. There is not enough information to say anything about this solution. Nothing will happen since RbBr and AgClO4 are both soluble compounds.
