Q.

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 10-4  
2 10-6  
3 10-9  
4 10-5  

Ans.

(1)

Let the solubility of AgCl in water be s and in KCl be S.

AgClAg++Cl-Solubility in water:ssSolubility in KCl:SS+0.1

Ksp=[Ag][Cl]=10-10

For water, Ksp=s2s=10-5

For KCl, Ksp=S(S+0.1)

S(0.1)=10-10

S=10-9  (as, S<<<<0.1)
