Problem

A solution initially contains 0.010 M of each cation: Ag

^+

, Tl

^+

, and Pb

^{2+}

. Their chloride

K_{sp}

values at 25 °C are

K_{sp}(\text{AgCl})=1.8\times10^{-10}

K_{sp}(\text{TlCl})=1.7\times10^{-4}

, and

K_{sp}(\text{PbCl}_2)=1.6\times10^{-5}

. As NaCl is gradually added, list the order in which the three chlorides will begin to precipitate.
