Answer to Question #135002 in General Chemistry for hi

Question

what is The Ksp of AgCl at 25 oc is 1.0x10-10. Calculate the concentration of Ag+ and Cl- ions in a saturated solution of AgCl, and the molar solubility of AgCl ?

Answer 1

AgCl <=> Ag⁺ + Cl^-

[Ag⁺] = [Cl^-]

K_sp = [Ag⁺][Cl^-] = [Ag⁺]² = 1.0×10^-10

[Ag⁺] = 1.0×10^-5 M

[Ag⁺] = [Cl^-] = 1.0×10^-5 M

Molar solubility = [Ag⁺] = 1.0×10^-5 M
