The following pictures represent solutions of AgCl,which may also contain ions other than Ag<sup>+</sup> and Cl<sup>-</sup> which are not shown.Gray spheres represent Ag<sup>+</sup> ions and dotted spheres represent Cl<sup>-</sup> ions. -If solution (1) is a saturated solution of AgCl,which of solutions (1) -(4) represents the solution after a small amount of HNO<sub>3</sub> is added and equilibrium is restored? A) (1) B) (2) C) (3) D) (4)

-If solution (1) is a saturated solution of AgCl,which of solutions (1) -(4) represents the solution after a small amount of HNO₃ is added and equilibrium is restored?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding HNO3 to a saturated solution of AgCl will not change the concentration of Ag+ and Cl- ions significantly, as HNO3 is a strong acid and does not affect the solubility of AgCl. Therefore, the solution remains essentially the same as the original saturated solution (1).
