Expert Solution
Step 1molar solubilty

molar solubilty is defined as no. Of moles of solute dissolved in per liter of solution before the solution staurated.

Step 2 calculation

silver chloride dissociation, 

AgCl --------------> Ag+    +  Cl -

Now we write ksp expressions for above reaction, 

Let the molar solubilty of AgCl is (S)

Then it molar solubilty of Ag+   = (S)  and   Cl  =  (S)

Ksp = [Ag+] [ Cl - ]

So, Ksp =  S2

Given Ksp = 1.8 × 1010
