The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the solubility of AgCl are incorrect, we will analyze each statement based on the principles of ionic equilibrium and the common ion effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Common Ion Effect**: - The common ion effect states that the solubility of a salt decreases in a solution that already contains one of the ions present in the salt. For AgCl, the ions are Ag⁺ and Cl⁻. 2. **Analyzing the First Statement**: - **Statement**: "The solubility of AgCl is less in 0.5 molar KCl solution than in pure water." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The presence of Cl⁻ from KCl decreases the solubility of AgCl due to the common ion effect. 3. **Analyzing the Second Statement**: - **Statement**: "The solubility of AgCl is more in 0.5 molar CsCl than in pure water." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. CsCl also provides Cl⁻ ions, which will decrease the solubility of AgCl due to the common ion effect. 4. **Analyzing the Third Statement**: - **Statement**: "The solubility of AgCl is more in 1 molar AgNO3 than in pure water." - **Analysis**: This statement is also incorrect. AgNO3 provides Ag⁺ ions, which will decrease the solubility of AgCl due to the common ion effect. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Statement**: - **Statement**: "The solubility of AgCl is more in NH3 than in pure water." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. NH3 can form a complex with Ag⁺ ions, which increases the solubility of AgCl by removing Ag⁺ from the solution, thus shifting the equilibrium to favor more dissolution of AgCl. ### Conclusion: - The incorrect statements are the second and third statements. ### Summary of Incorrect Statements: - **Incorrect Statements**: - "The solubility of AgCl is more in 0.5 molar CsCl than in pure water." - "The solubility of AgCl is more in 1 molar AgNO3 than in pure water."
