Question

Solubility of agcl in water, 0.01 m cacl2, 0.01 m nacl and 0.05 m agno3 are s1, s2, s3 and s4 respectively, then

Answer 1

S1 > S3 > S2 > S4

Reason:

The capability of being dissolved of silver chloride or its formation of ion would  depend reciprocally on concentration.

S1 = water

S2 = 0.01 M calcium chloride

S3 = 0.01 M sodium chloride

S4 = 0.05 M silver nitrate

As water among them will be least concentrated and dilute so it will have maximum capability to dissolve silver nitrate in it. As number of ions produced increases, there will be less probability of dissolving that salt. Like among sodium chloride and calcium chloride, the solubility of sodium chloride will be more than calcium chloride due to less number of ions.
