The solubility of AgCl in water is 1.33 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ at 25 °C and 1.50 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹ at 35 °C. Assuming the dissolution equilibrium AgCl(s) ⇌ Ag⁺ + Cl⁻ follows the van't Hoff relationship, (i) estimate the standard enthalpy change ΔH° (in kJ mol⁻¹) for the dissolution, and (ii) predict the solubility of AgCl at 45 °C (in mol L⁻¹, to three significant figures).

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. ΔH° ≈ +18 kJ mol⁻¹; solubility ≈ 1.68×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹
B. ΔH° ≈ +18 kJ mol⁻¹; solubility ≈ 1.50×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹
C. ΔH° ≈ +22 kJ mol⁻¹; solubility ≈ 1.80×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹
D. ΔH° ≈ +12 kJ mol⁻¹; solubility ≈ 1.55×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
ΔH° ≈ +18 kJ mol⁻¹; solubility ≈ 1.68×10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹
