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.

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.
