### Problem Statement:

**The concentration of the saturated solution is 1.15 x 10^-4 M Ag₂CO₃. What is the concentration of the Ag⁺ ion?**

### Solution:
To find the concentration of the Ag⁺ ion, use the dissociation equation for silver carbonate (Ag₂CO₃):

\[ \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 (s) \rightarrow 2\text{Ag}^+ (aq) + \text{CO}_3^{2-} (aq) \]

Given the molarity of the saturated solution (1.15 x 10^-4 M), we can determine the concentration of \(\text{Ag}^+\) ions as follows:

1. The dissociation of Ag₂CO₃ produces 2 moles of Ag⁺ for every 1 mole of Ag₂CO₃.
   
   Therefore, if the concentration of Ag₂CO₃ is 1.15 x 10^-4 M, the concentration of \(\text{Ag}^+\) ions will be:
   
   \[
   [\text{Ag}^+] = 2 \times 1.15 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{M} = 2.30 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{M}
   \]

### Interactive Component:
Below the problem statement, an interactive input field is provided for users to input their answers:

\[ [\text{Ag}^+] = \left[ \boxed{ \quad ? \quad } \right] \times 10^{ \boxed{ \quad ? \quad } } \, \text{M} \]

**Instructions:**
- Enter the coefficient (green field) and the exponent (yellow field) values based on your calculation.
- Press the "Enter" button to check your answer.

**Field Descriptions:**
- **Coefficient (green):** \(2.30\)
- **Exponent (yellow):** \(-4\)

Click "Enter" after filling in the answers to validate your input.

### User Input Fields:
- **Coefficient (green):** [ ____ ]
- **Exponent (yellow):** [ ____ ]
- **Enter Button:** [Enter]

This interactive exercise helps reinforce the concepts of molarity, dissociation, and stoichiometry.
