Question

A student adds solid silver chloride (AgCI) to each of two beakers: one containing 1.0 L of pure water, and one containing 1.0 L of 0.500 M NaCI. In which will AgCI be more soluble, and why? Pure H_2O: in the 0.500 M NaCI solution the chloride ions that are already present will inhibit the AgCI from dissolving by increasing the value of Q. Neither: AgCI is completely insoluble, and will not dissolve in either. 0.500 M NaCI: the sodium ions in the solution will complex with the chloride, allowing more AgCI to dissolve. 0.500 M NaCI: in the 0.500 M NaCI solution, the chloride ions that are already present will increase the amount of AgCI that dissolves by decreasing the value of Q. BothL AgCI is freely soluble in both.

Explanation / Answer

AgCl is completely insoluble , and will not dissolve either
