Question

In order to promote the common ion effect, the concentration of the common ion must first:_____.

Answer 1

We need to increase the concentration of common ion first, in order to promote the common ion effect

What is the Common ion effect?

It is an effect that suppresses the dissociation of salt due to the addition of another salt having common ions.

For example, a saturated solution of silver chloride in equilibrium has Ag⁺ and Cl⁻ . Sodium Chloride is added to the solution and has a common ion Cl⁻. As a result, the equilibrium shifts to the left to form more silver chloride. Thus, solubility of AgCl decreases.

The Equilibrium law states that if a process is in equilibrium and is subjected to a change

• in temperature,
• pressure,
• the concentration of reactant or product,

then the equilibrium shifts in a particular direction, according to the condition.

Thus, an increase in the concentration of common ion promotes the common ion effect.
