Homework Statement


Calculate the solubility of silver chloride at 25℃.

Ksp of silver chloride at 25℃=1.8x10^-10

Homework Equations


AgCl⇔Ag+Cl (I believe)
So, Ksp=[Ag][Cl]

The Attempt at a Solution


All I know is the Ksp of silver chloride at that temperature. I have no idea what to do from here. Do I need to know something about Ag or Cl?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I attempted..
Ksp=1.8x10^-10
1.8x10^-10=[Ag][Cl]
[Ag]=[Cl]=√1.8x10^-10
=1.3x10^-5M

So I got the solubility for both elements.. do I just add since AgCl⇔Ag+Cl?
 
Okay, nevermind. 1.3x10^-5M is AgCl's molar solubility..
