The ratio of solubility of AgCl in 0.1 M KCl solution to the solubility of AgCl in water is (Given: Solubility product of AgCl = 10-10) [2024]
(1)
Let the solubility of AgCl in water be s and in KCl be S.
AgCl→Ag++Cl-Solubility in water:ssSolubility in KCl:SS+0.1
Ksp=[Ag][Cl]=10-10
For water, Ksp=s2⇒s=10-5
For KCl, Ksp=S(S+0.1)
S(0.1)=10-10
⇒S=10-9 (as, S<<<<0.1)
