Answer

The minimun chloride ion concentration for precipitation to occur is equal to $1.8\times 10^{-5}M$

Work Step by Step

1. Write the $K_{sp}$ expression: $ AgCl(s) \lt -- \gt 1Ag^{+}(aq) + 1Cl^{-}(aq)$ $1.8 \times 10^{-10} = [Ag^{+}]^ 1[Cl^{-}]^ 1$ $1.8 \times 10^{-10} = (1 \times 10^{-5})^ 1( 1S)^ 1$ 2. Find the Chloride ion concentration. $1.8 \times 10^{-10}= 1 \times 10^{-5} \times ( 1S)^ 1$ $ \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-10}}{1 \times 10^{-5}} = ( 1S)^ 1$ $1.8 \times 10^{-5} = S$
