The correct Answer is:
To determine when precipitation of AgCl will occur, we need to compare the ionic product (Qsp) with the solubility product (Ksp) of AgCl. The precipitation occurs when Qsp exceeds Ksp. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ksp**: The solubility product (Ksp) of AgCl is given as \(1.8 \times 10^{-10}\). This value indicates the maximum product of the concentrations of the ions (Ag\(^+\) and Cl\(^-\)) that can exist in solution without precipitating. 2. **Expression for Qsp**: The ionic product (Qsp) is calculated using the concentrations of the ions in solution: \[ Qsp = [Ag^+][Cl^-] \] 3. **Analyzing Options**: We need to evaluate the given options based on their concentrations of Ag\(^+\) and Cl\(^-\) to find when Qsp is greater than Ksp. - **Option A**: \[ [Ag^+] = 10^{-8} \, \text{M}, \quad [Cl^-] = 10^{-8} \, \text{M} \] \[ Qsp = (10^{-8})(10^{-8}) = 10^{-16} \] Since \(10^{-16} < 1.8 \times 10^{-10}\), no precipitation occurs. - **Option B**: \[ [Ag^+] = 10^{-3} \, \text{M}, \quad [Cl^-] = 10^{-3} \, \text{M} \] \[ Qsp = (10^{-3})(10^{-3}) = 10^{-6} \] Since \(10^{-6} > 1.8 \times 10^{-10}\), precipitation occurs. - **Option C**: \[ [Ag^+] = 10^{-6} \, \text{M}, \quad [Cl^-] = 10^{-6} \, \text{M} \] \[ Qsp = (10^{-6})(10^{-6}) = 10^{-12} \] Since \(10^{-12} < 1.8 \times 10^{-10}\), no precipitation occurs. - **Option D**: \[ [Ag^+] = 10^{-5} \, \text{M}, \quad [Cl^-] = 10^{-5} \, \text{M} \] \[ Qsp = (10^{-5})(10^{-5}) = 10^{-10} \] Since \(10^{-10} = 1.8 \times 10^{-10}\), no precipitation occurs. 4. **Conclusion**: The only condition where precipitation of AgCl occurs is in **Option B**.
