Problem

Equal volumes (25.0 mL each) of 0.0100 M AgNO₃ and 0.0200 M NaCl are mixed in a solution that already contains 1.00 M NH₃. At 25 °C, Ksp(AgCl)=1.8×10−10K_{sp}(\text{AgCl})=1.8\times10^{-10} and the formation constant for Ag(NH3)2+\text{Ag(NH}_3)_2^+ is Kf=1.6×107K_f=1.6\times10^{7}. Assuming only the 1 : 2 complex forms and that [NH₃] remains 1.00 M after mixing, determine whether AgCl(s) will precipitate at equilibrium.
