Question
Under what circumstances, if any, does a sample of solid AgCl completely dissolve in pure water?
Step 1
Precipitation occurs when the ion product, denoted as $\mathrm{Q}$, is equal to the solubility product, denoted as $\mathrm{K}_{s p}$. Show more…

When a sparingly soluble salt like AgCl is added with HCl, what happens to its solubility?
A precipitate may appear when two completely clear aqueous solutions are mixed. What circumstances are responsible for this event?
You have a beaker that contains solid silver chloride $(\mathrm{AgCl})$ and a saturated solution of $\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions in equilibrium with the solid. $$\mathrm{AgCl}(s) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ag}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q)$$ You add several drops of a sodium chloride solution. What happens to the concentration of silver ions?
