Chemistry Question on Solutions
The solubility product of AgCl is 4.0×10−10 at 298 K. The solubility of AgCl in 0.04 M CaCl2 will be
A
2.0×10−5M
B
1.0×10−4M
C
5.0×10−9M
D
2.2×10−4M
Answer
5.0×10−9M
Explanation
Solution
In CaCl2⋅[Cl−]=2×0.04=0.08molL−1 [Cl−] from AgCl is too small and is neglected Ksp=[Ag+][Cl−] 4×10−10=[Ag+]×0.08 4×10−10=[Ag+]×0.08 [Ag+]=0.084×10−10=84×10−8 =5.0×10−9M
