Question

In 1 L saturated solution of AgCl (KspAgCl=1.6×1010), 0.1 mol of CuCl (KspCuCl=1.0×106) is added. The resultant concentration of Ag in the solution is 1.6×10x. Calculate the value of x.

Solution

The solubility product of CuCl is 1.0×106.

CuCl(s)Cu++Cl
initially 0.1M 0 0
At eqm. 0.1-x x x

Ksp,CuCl=[Cu+][Cl]

Ksp,CuCl=x×x

The chloride ion concentration will be, [Cl]=x=Ksp,CuCl=1.0×106=1.0×103M

Ksp,AgCl=[Ag+][Cl]

The silver ion concentration is, [Ag+]=Ksp,AgCl[Cl]=1.6×10101.0×103=1.6×107M=1.6×10xM
Hence, the value of x is 7.
