Helen asks…Which is more soluble, AgCl or Ag2CO3?Ksp for AgCl is 2 x 10^(-10)
Ksp for Ag2CO3 is 8 x 10^(-12)
Would is be AgCl just because its Ksp is greater than that of Ag2CO3's?Nancy answers:Ksp is a measurement of the solubility of a substance.
Like K values of weak acids/bases, the higher the K value, the more dissociation occurs in solution.
Your more soluble substance will be the one with the higher Ksp value.
In this case, AgCl is more soluble than Ag2CO3 because KspAgCl >
