Question
Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. If NH3 is added to the system, what will happen to the concentration of Ag+?AgCl(s) ⇌ Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq)The concentration will increase.The concentration will decrease.The concentration will remain the same.The concentration will both increase and decrease.
Solution
The reaction described is governed by Le Chatelier's Principle, which states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change.
In this case, the reaction is:
AgCl(s) ⇌ Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Adding NH3 to the system will react with Ag+ ions to form [Ag(NH3)2]+ complex ions. This effectively reduces the concentration of Ag+ ions in the solution. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the equilibrium will shift to the right to counteract this change and produce more Ag+ ions.
Therefore, the concentration of Ag+ will increase.
