Solution
The correct option is D Less A litre of solution is saturated with AgCl.
To this solution if 1.0×10−4 mole of solid NaCl is added, [Ag+] will be less.
AgCl⇌Ag++Cl− NaCl→Na++Cl−
Thus, the dissociation of NaCl provides chloride ions that are common to AgCl. Due to common ion effect, the dissociation of AgCl is suppressed and [Ag+] decreases.
