The Common Ion Effect Predicts That the Solubility of a Salt

Question 47

Multiple Choice

The common ion effect predicts that the solubility of a salt in a solution already containing one of the ions in the salt will be ____ than the solubility in water. This is predictable, because ____.


A) more; Le Chatelier's Principle predicts that the common ion will suppress precipitation
B) more; the presence of the common ion will increase that concentration, hence Ksp will fall
C) less; Le Chatelier's Principle predicts that the common ion will suppress dissolving
D) less; the presence of the common ion will increase that concentration, hence Ksp will rise
E) less; at equilibrium, Q will be less than Ksp
