The correct Answer is:
To determine the greatest solubility of \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \) at \( 30^\circ C \), we need to analyze how its solubility is affected by the presence of other ions in solution. The solubility product constant (\( K_{sp} \)) for \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \) is given as \( 8 \times 10^{-12} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Dissociation of \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \)**: \[ \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 (s) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{Ag}^+ (aq) + \text{CO}_3^{2-} (aq) \] The solubility product expression is: \[ K_{sp} = [\text{Ag}^+]^2 [\text{CO}_3^{2-}] \] 2. **Analyzing the Effect of Common Ions**: - **In \( \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \)**: This compound provides \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \) ions. The presence of \( \text{CO}_3^{2-} \) will shift the equilibrium to the left, decreasing the solubility of \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \) due to the common ion effect. - **In \( \text{AgNO}_3 \)**: This compound provides \( \text{Ag}^+ \) ions. Similarly, the presence of \( \text{Ag}^+ \) ions will also shift the equilibrium to the left, further decreasing the solubility of \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \). 3. **Evaluating Pure Water**: - In pure water, there are no common ions present. Therefore, the solubility of \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \) will be at its maximum compared to the previous two cases. 4. **Considering Ammonia**: - When \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \) is mixed with ammonia (\( \text{NH}_3 \)), it forms a complex ion: \[ \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 + 2 \text{NH}_3 \rightleftharpoons [\text{Ag(NH}_3)_2]^+ + \text{CO}_3^{2-} \] The formation of this complex ion increases the solubility of \( \text{Ag}^+ \) ions in the solution, thereby increasing the overall solubility of \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \). 5. **Conclusion**: - The greatest solubility of \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \) occurs in ammonia due to the formation of the complex ion, which effectively removes \( \text{Ag}^+ \) ions from the solution and shifts the equilibrium to the right. ### Final Answer: The solubility of \( \text{Ag}_2\text{CO}_3 \) would be greatest in one litre of ammonia solution.
