In which of the following aqueous solutions would you expect AgBr to have the lowest solubility? A)pure water B)0.20 M NaBr C)0.10 M AgNO₃ D)0.15 M KBr E)0.10 M LiBr

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

AgBr has low solubility in a solution with a high concentration of Br- ions because the common ion effect causes the equilibrium to shift towards AgBr precipitation. Therefore, in the presence of a solution with a high concentration of Br- ions, AgBr will have the lowest solubility. Among the options given, option B has the highest concentration of Br- ions (0.20 M NaBr).
