Answer:
Compare the solubility of silver iodide in each of the following aqueous solutions:
a. 0.10 M AgCH3COO
b. 0.10 M NaI
c. 0.10 M KCH3COO
d. 0.10 M NH4NO3
1. More soluble than in pure water.
2. Similar solubility as in pure water.
3. Less soluble than in pure water.
Explanation:
This can be explained based on common ion effect.
According to common ion effect the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt decreases further in a solution which has a common ion to it.
The solubility of AgI(s) silver iodide in water is shown below:
a. a. 0.10 M AgCH3COO has a common ion Ag+ with AgI.
So, AgI is less soluble than in pure water in this solution.
b. 0.10 M NaI has a common ion I- with AgI.
So, AgI is less soluble than in pure water in this solution.
c. 0.10 M KCH3COO:
This solution has no common ion with AgI.
So, AgI has similar solubility as in pure water.
d. 0.10 M NH4NO3:
In this solution, AgI can be more soluble than in pure water.
