Statement-I : The addition of silver ions to a mixture of aqueous sodium chloride and sodium bromide

Question

Statement-I : The addition of silver ions to a mixture of aqueous sodium chloride and sodium bromide solution will first precipitate AgBr rather than AgCl . Statement-II : The value of $K_{s p}$ of $\mathrm{AgCl}<K_{s p}$ of AgBr .

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : $K_{s p}$ of $\mathrm{AgCl}>K_{s p}$ of AgBr .\  For the precipitation to occur, its ionic product should exceed solubility product.
