Question:
How many moles of {eq}Ag_2CO_3 {/eq} ({eq}K_{sp} = 8.5 \times 10^{-12} {/eq}) will dissolve in {eq}500 \ mL {/eq} of {eq}0.010 \ M \ (NH_4)_2CO_3 {/eq} solution?
Common Ion Effect:
A saturated aqueous solution of a salt compound will contain the compound's reversible dissociation reaction in a solubility equilibrium. The solubility product of the constituent ion molarity values will be controlled by the compound's {eq}K_{sp} {/eq} value, which only varies with temperature. If you increase one of these molarity values, then the dissociation reaction must shift left, even though the solubility product constant is unchanged. This type of reaction shift in a solubility equilibrium is termed the common ion effect.
