Silver chloride,AgCl(s),is an insolublestrong electrolyte.(a) Write the equation for the dissolution of AgCl(s) in H2O(l). (b) Write the expression for Kc for the reaction in part (a). (c) Based on the thermochemical data in Appendix C and Le Chteliers principle, predict whether the solubility of AgCl in H2O increases or decreases with increasing temperature. (d) The equilibrium constant for the dissolution of AgCl in water is at In addition, can react with according to the reaction Ag+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) AgCl2-(aq) where at Although AgCl is not soluble in water, the complex AgCl2 is soluble. At , is the solubility of AgCl in a 0.100 M NaCl solution greater than the solubility of AgCl in pure water,due to the formation of soluble AgCl2- ions? Or is the AgCl solubility in 0.100 M NaCl less than in pure water because of a Le Chteliertype argument? Justify your answer with calculations. (Hint: Any form in which silver is in solution counts as solubility.)
