Answer:

Compare the solubility of silver iodide in each of the following aqueous solutions:

a. 0.10 M AgCH3COO

b. 0.10 M NaI

c. 0.10 M KCH3COO

d. 0.10 M NH4NO3

1. More soluble than in pure water.

2. Similar solubility as in pure water.

3. Less soluble than in pure water.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be explained based on common ion effect.

According to common ion effect the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt decreases further in a solution which has a common ion to it.

The solubility of AgI(s) silver iodide in water is shown below:


AgI(s) <=> Ag^(+)(aq)+I^(-)(aq)\\

a. a. 0.10 M AgCH3COO has a common ion Ag+ with AgI.

So, AgI is less soluble than in pure water in this solution.

b. 0.10 M NaI has a common ion I- with AgI.

So, AgI is less soluble than in pure water in this solution.

c. 0.10 M KCH3COO:

This solution has no common ion with AgI.

So, AgI has similar solubility as in pure water.

d. 0.10 M NH4NO3:

In this solution, AgI can be more soluble than in pure water.
