Calculate the concentration of silver ions in a saturated solution of silver chloride...........confusing?

Calculate the concentration of silver ions (in μmol/L) in a saturated solution of silver chloride AgCl (Ksp= 1.6 x 10-10)

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

AgCl(s) <=====> Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Let the conc. of Ag+ = conc. of Cl- = x

Ksp = [Ag+] [Cl-] = (x) x (x) = x^2 = 1.6x 10^-10

x = 1.26 x 10^-5 mol L-1
.. = 12.6 umol / L
