Question

Four salts (silver chloride, sodium chloride, lead(II) iodide, and lead(II) sulfate are added to water in four separate beakers until the solutions are saturated and excess solid remains on the bottom of each one.

AgCl(s) ? Ag+(aq) + Cl?(aq) Ksp = [Ag+][Cl?] = 1.8 × 10?10

NaCl(s) ? Na+(aq) + Cl?(aq) Ksp = [Na+][Cl?] = 36

PbI2(s) ? Pb2+(aq) + 2I? (aq) Ksp = [Pb2+][I?]2 = 8.7 × 10?9

PbSO4(s) ? Pb2+(aq) + SO42?(aq) Ksp = [Pb2+][SO42?] = 1.8 × 10?8

Suppose chloride ions could be removed selectively from the AgCl solution in the Model. What would happen to the concentration of the silver ion as a result? Explain.
