Question
The molar solubility of silver carbonate in a 0.165 M potassium carbonate solution is 7.78x10^-7
М.
Incorrect
K2CO3 is a soluble salt. Ag,C03 is not.
The solubility of Ag,CO3 in pure water is 1.3x10 4 M. The solubility of Ag,CO3 will be less than this
in the presence of potassium carbonate, because there is already CO3²- ion present in the solution.
This is known as the "Common Ion Effect".
Initial [CO2 ] = 0.165 M from the K2CO3 solution.
Step 1: Set up the equilibrium using the ICE method
Let 's' = number of moles of Ag2CO3 (s) per liter that dissolves = molar solubility

Setp 2: Substitute the equilibrium values into the the Ksp expression
Ksp =[Ag*]? [CO3²] =(2s)?(0.165 + s) = (from the table)
8.1×10 12
%3D
Step 3: Assume that s is small relative to 0.165 M, so that the approximation 0.165 + s 0.165 can
be made. This is reasonable because the solubility is low without the common ion and it will be even
lower in the presense of added CO3?. Then:
Ksp = (2s)2(0.165) = 8.1×10 12
