Question

The reaction below describes the process of silver phosphate dissolution in water.

Ag3(PO4) <> 3 Ag+ + PO4 (3-)

What would be the effect of adding HClO4 to a saturated solution represented by the equilibrium reaction shown above?

A) THe added HClO4 would have no effect

B) The added HClO4 would protonate PO4 (3-), causing Ag+ to precipitate

C) The added HClO4 would react with Ag+, forming HAg and causing more Ag3PO4 to dissolve

D) The added HClO4 would protonate PO4(3-) causing more Ag3PO4 to dissolve

Explanation / Answer

The added HClO4 would protonate PO4(3-) causing more Ag3PO4 to dissolve
