Here is the chemical reaction that represents solid silver chloride dissolving in water.?

Question

AgCl(s) -- Ag (aq)+ Cl (aq)
Ksp = 1.7x10*-10

Which of the following actions would shift this reaction toward solid silver chloride?
add more silver chloride
add more chloride ion
remove chloride ion
remove silver ion

choose the correct one

Answer 1

Adding more chloride ion. Adding a common ion shifts equilibrium to the left, due to the common ion effect.

Answer 2

Adding more Cl- or more Ag+ would shift the reaction toward more AgCl. This is the common ion effect. Adding more AgCl would increase the amount of AgCl lying around at the bottom, but it would not shift the reaction.
