The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to understand the concept of solubility product constant (\(K_{sp}\)) and how it behaves when additional ions are introduced into a saturated solution. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Dissociation of AgCl**: - When silver chloride (AgCl) dissolves in water, it dissociates into silver ions (\(Ag^+\)) and chloride ions (\(Cl^-\)): \[ AgCl (s) \rightleftharpoons Ag^+ (aq) + Cl^- (aq) \] 2. **Write the Expression for \(K_{sp}\)**: - The solubility product constant (\(K_{sp}\)) for AgCl is given by: \[ K_{sp} = [Ag^+][Cl^-] \] - It is given that \(K_{sp} = 1.8 \times 10^{-10}\) at \(25^{\circ}C\). 3. **Initial Concentrations**: - Let the solubility of AgCl in water be \(S\). Therefore, at equilibrium: \[ [Ag^+] = S \quad \text{and} \quad [Cl^-] = S \] - Thus, we can express \(K_{sp}\) as: \[ K_{sp} = S \times S = S^2 \] - From this, we can find \(S\): \[ S^2 = 1.8 \times 10^{-10} \implies S = \sqrt{1.8 \times 10^{-10}} \approx 1.34 \times 10^{-5} \text{ M} \] 4. **Adding \(Ag^+\) Ions**: - We are adding \(10^{-5}\) moles of \(Ag^+\) ions to the solution. This will increase the concentration of \(Ag^+\) ions in the solution. - The new concentration of \(Ag^+\) will be: \[ [Ag^+]_{new} = S + 10^{-5} \text{ M} \] 5. **Effect on \(K_{sp}\)**: - It is important to note that \(K_{sp}\) is a constant at a given temperature and does not change with the addition of \(Ag^+\) ions. Instead, the equilibrium will shift to maintain the \(K_{sp}\) value. - Therefore, the addition of \(Ag^+\) ions will cause the equilibrium to shift left, leading to the precipitation of AgCl until the product of the concentrations of the ions equals the \(K_{sp}\). 6. **Conclusion**: - Since \(K_{sp}\) remains constant regardless of the concentration changes due to the addition of \(Ag^+\) ions, the final \(K_{sp}\) value remains: \[ K_{sp} = 1.8 \times 10^{-10} \] ### Final Answer: The \(K_{sp}\) of AgCl after adding \(10^{-5}\) moles of \(Ag^+\) ions remains \(1.8 \times 10^{-10}\).
