At 25 °C the solubility product of silver chloride is \( K_{sp}=1.8\times10^{-10} \). A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.010 mol of NaCl in 1.0 L of water, after which excess solid AgCl is added. (a) Calculate the solubility of AgCl in this solution (in mol L\( ^{-1} \)). (b) If the entire solution is then diluted to 2.0 L, what is the new solubility of AgCl under the same temperature?

Answer Options

A. Initial solubility \(1.8\times10^{-9}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\); after dilution \(3.6\times10^{-9}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\)
Correct Answer B. Initial solubility \(1.8\times10^{-8}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\); after dilution \(3.6\times10^{-8}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\)
C. Initial solubility \(1.2\times10^{-8}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\); after dilution \(2.4\times10^{-8}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\)
D. Initial solubility \(2.0\times10^{-8}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\); after dilution \(4.0\times10^{-8}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\)
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Initial solubility \(1.8\times10^{-8}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\); after dilution \(3.6\times10^{-8}\,\text{mol L}^{-1}\)
