1)Silver (I) chloride has a pKsp of 9.74. If you stir 10.0 mol AgCl
into water to make 0.500 L solution, what will be the aqueous
concentrations of silver and chloride ions at equilibrium?
(Note: Ignore activities for this problem.)
AgCl(s) Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Ksp = 10-9.74 = 1.82 x 10-10 = [Ag+][Cl-] = x2
x = 1.348 x 10-5 M (aka 13.48 M) of each ion for a fully
saturated solution.
2)Silver (I) chloride has a pKsp of 9.74. If you stir 10.0 mol AgCl
and 10.0 mol KCl into water to make 0.500 L solution, what
will be the aqueous concentrations of silver and chloride ions
at equilibrium? (Note: Ignore activities for this problem.)
If using an ICE table to set up the problem, the treatment is
the same as if you were starting with the equilibrated
(saturated) solution from Q1 and adding KCl to disturb it.
Adding excess product (Cl-) will push the equilibrium
backward, forcing some AgCl to precipitate out of solution.

3)Silver (I) chloride has a pKsp of 9.74. If you stir 10.0 mol AgCl
and 25.0 mmol NaNO3 into water to make 0.500 L solution,
a) What will be the aqueous concentrations of silver and
chloride ions at equilibrium? (Notes: Use the appropriate
Debye-Hckel equation, and do not ignore activity
coefficients in this problem.)
Compared to Q2, a common ion effect is not an issue, but the
ionic strength from added NaNO3 will be.
= [(0.0250 mol Na+/0.500 L)(+1)2 + (0.0250 mol
NO3-/0.500 L)(-1)2 + (13.48 M Ag+)(+1)2 + (13.48 M Cl-)(-1)2] =
0.050013 M
For Ag and Cl activity coefficients, use a normal form of DH.
Both ions will be treated as either:
