Question

The solubility of Ag(I) in aqueous solutions containing dif-ferent concentrations of Cl is based on the following equilibria:Ag⁺(aq)+Cl⁻(aq)⇌AgCl(s) Kₛₚ=1.8X10⁻¹⁰ Ag⁺(aq)+2Cl⁻(aq)⇌AgCl₂⁻(s) K(f)=1.8X10⁻⁵ When solid AgCl is shaken with a solution containing Cl⁻, Ag(I)is present as both Ag⁺ and AgCl₂⁻. The solubility of AgCl is thesum of the concentrations of Ag and AgCl₂.(a) Show that [Ag⁺] in solution is given by[Ag⁺]=1.8X10⁻¹⁰/[Cl⁻]and that [AgCl₂⁻] in solution is given by [AgCl₂⁻](3.2X10⁻⁵)([Cl⁻] (b) Find the [Cl⁻] at which [Ag⁺][AgCl₂⁻].(c) Explain the shape of a plot of AgCl solubility vs. [Cl⁻].(d) Find the solubility of AgCl at the [Cl⁻] of part (b), which is the minimum solubility of AgCl in the presence of Cl
