    The solubility of \[AgCl\] is \[1\times {{10}^{-5}}mol/L\], Its solubility in 0.1 molar sodium chloride solution is

    A)  \[1\times {{10}^{-10}}\]              

    B)  \[1\times {{10}^{-5}}\]

    C)  \[1\times {{10}^{-9}}\]                 

    D)  \[1\times {{10}^{-4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[{{K}_{sp}}\] of \[AgCl={{(solubility\text{ }of\text{ }AgCl)}^{2}}\] \[={{(1\times {{10}^{-5}})}^{2}}=1\times {{10}^{-10}}\] Suppose, its solubility in 0.1 M NaCI is x mol/L.                                 \[AgCl\underset{x}{\mathop{\overset{+}{\mathop{Ag}}\,}}\,+\underset{x}{\mathop{C{{l}^{-}}}}\,\]                                 \[NaCl\underset{0.1M}{\mathop{N{{a}^{+}}}}\,+\underset{0.1M}{\mathop{C{{l}^{-}}}}\,\]                                 \[[C{{l}^{-}}]=(x+0.1)M\]                 \[{{K}_{sp}}\] or  \[AgCl=[A{{g}^{+}}][C{{l}^{-}}]\]                                 \[=x\times (x+0.1)\]                 \[1\times {{10}^{-10}}={{x}^{2}}+0.1x\] Higher power of x can be neglected.                 \[1\times {{10}^{-10}}=0.1x\]                 \[x=1\times {{10}^{-9}}M\]
