a question on equillibria
"Ionic compounds we normally designate as insoluble in water e.g. AgCl actually dissocitae to a small extent into constituent ions. these aqueous ions are in equillibrium with the solid as indicated in the following equation
AgCl(s) [tex]\Updownarrow[/tex] Ag[tex]^{}_{}+[/tex] (aq) + Cl[tex]^{-}[/tex] (aq)
if a beaker of water containg solid silver chloride, indicate if the equillibrium components increase, decrease or do not change when a solution of NaCl is added to the beaker
Mass of AgCl(s): [tex]\uparrow[/tex] or[tex]\downarrow[/tex] or constant
Concentration of Ag(aq): [tex]\uparrow[/tex] or [tex]\downarrow[/tex] or constant
Concentration of Cl(aq): [tex]\uparrow[/tex] or [tex]\downarrow[/tex] or constant
I have put mass of AgCl increase because adding more ionized Cl will interact with the Ag(aq)
and if this was true Ag(aq) and Cl(aq) would decrease, right?
But my biggest concern is does the Cl(aq) act with Ag(aq) to create a solid; I am just not sure if my logic is correct
any feedback would be greatly appreciated
