Silver iodide is an insoluble salt with Ksp=8.5x10-17, The solubility can be increased by causing a different precipitate to be formed. Would the addition of NaBr or NaCN increase the solubility of AgI? Write the corresponding net ionic equation and accompanying equilibrium constant to justify your answer. Ksp(AgBr)=5.4x10-13 and Ksp(AgCN)=6.0x10-17

Question

Silver iodide is an insoluble salt with Ksp=8.5x10-17, The solubility can be increased by causing
a different precipitate to be formed. Would the addition of NaBr or NaCN increase the
solubility of AgI? Write the corresponding net ionic equation and accompanying equilibrium
constant to justify your answer.

Ksp(AgBr)=5.4x10-13 and Ksp(AgCN)=6.0x10-17
