Question

State common ion effect and give an example.

Answer 1

Answer:

The common ion effect causes the reduction of solubility when adding like ions. An example of the common ion effect is when sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to a solution of HCl and water. The hydrochloric acid and water are in equilibrium, with the products being H3O+ and Cl-

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

The common-ion effect refers to the decrease in solubility of an ionic precipitate by the addition to the solution of a soluble compound with an ion in common with the precipitate. This behaviour is a consequence of Le Chatelier's principle for the equilibrium reaction of the ionic association/dissociation.
