Answer:

h. both Mg(OH)₂ and CaCO₃

Explanation:

Let's consider the solution of Mg(OH)₂ according to the following equation:

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

In acidic solution, OH⁻ reacts with H⁺ to form H₂O.

OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ H₂O(l)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, since [OH⁻] decreases, the solution of Mg(OH)₂(s) shifts toward the right, increasing its solubility.

Let's consider the solution of CaCO₃ according to the following equation:

CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

In acidic solution, CO₃²⁻ reacts with H⁺ to form HCO₃⁻.

CO₃²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq)

According to Le Chatelier's principle, since [CO₃²⁻] decreases, the solution of CaCO₃(s) shifts toward the right, increasing its solubility.

Let's consider the solution of AgCl according to the following equation:

AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

Cl⁻ does not react with H⁺ because it comes from a strong acid (HCl). Therefore, the solubility of AgCl(s) is not affected by the pH.
