Expert Solution
Step 1

For a sparingly soluble salt, there is a dynamic equilibrium between the dissociated ions and undissociated molecules. The product of the concentration of the dissociated ions is known as the solubility product. The solubility product does not depend on the concentration of ions, it only depends on the temperature of the solution. The solubility product of AgCl is as follows:
