Question

The solubility product (Ksp) of AgCl at 25°C is 1.8 × 10⁻¹⁰. This value will change if:
Options
A the temperature is increased to 50°C.
Correct Answer
B solid AgCl is added to the solution.
C the volume of the solution is doubled.
D NaCl is added to the solution.
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Ksp, like other equilibrium constants, is dependent only on temperature. Adding more solid, changing volume, or adding common ions affects the ion concentrations but not the constant value.

Hint

Equilibrium constants are functions of temperature alone.
