Chapter 23, Problem 19E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The effect on the concentration of ${\text{Ag}}^{+}$ and ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$ ions by the addition of solid $\text{AgCl}$ to the solution is to be determined.

Concept introduction: According to the Le Chatelier’s principle, if a system is disturbed by any change in temperature, pressure, and concentration, then the equilibrium will shift in the direction that minimizes the effect of the change.
