Solution Summary

Two problems based on the solubility of AgNO2 are solved.

Solution Preview

a) AgNO2 ---> Ag+ + NO2 -

[AgNO2] = (0.1g/154 g) x (1mol / 0.100L) = 6.5 x 10^-3 M = 0.0065M

Ksp = [Ag+][NO2-] = (s)^2 where 's' is the solubility of AgNO2

Hence s = 0.0245 M. As solubility is greater than initial concentration of AgNO2, all 0.0065M will dissolve to form ...
