    The solubility of\[AgCl\]in\[0.2\,\,M\,\,NaCl\]solution is\[({{K}_{sp}}\,\,of\,\,AgCl=1.20\times {{10}^{-10}})\]

    A) \[6.0\times {{10}^{-10}}M\]                       

    B) \[0.2M\]             

    C)        \[1.2\times {{10}^{-10}}M\]       

    D)        \[0.2\times {{10}^{-10}}M\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, concentration of\[NaCl=0.2\,\,M\]                                     \[{{K}_{sp}}(AgCl)=1.20\times {{10}^{-10}}\] Let the solubility of\[AgCl\]in\[NaCl=x\]                 \[AgCl\xrightarrow{{}}A{{g}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}\] Solubility\[\underset{0.2}{\overset{x}{\mathop{NaCl}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{0.2}{\overset{x}{\mathop{Na}}}\,+\underset{0.2}{\overset{x}{\mathop{Cl-}}}\,\] \[\therefore \]  \[[A{{g}^{+}}]=x\]and\[[C{{l}^{-}}]=(x+0.2)\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{K}_{sp}}(AgCl)=[A{{g}^{+}}][C{{l}^{-}}]\]                                      \[=x(x+0.2)\]                                      \[={{x}^{2}}+0.2x\] \[\therefore \]              \[{{K}_{sp}}=0.2x({{x}^{2}}<<1)\] or            \[1.2\times {{10}^{-10}}=0.2x\] \[\therefore \]                  \[x=6\times {{10}^{-10}}\]
