        \[AgCl+KIKCl+AgI\]In the above reaction as KI is added, the equilibrium is shifted towards right giving more.\[AgI\]precipitate, because

    A)  both\[AgCl\]and\[AgI\]are sparingly soluble

    B)  the\[{{K}_{sp}}\]of\[AgI\]is lower than\[{{K}_{sp}}\]of\[AgCl\]

    C)  the\[{{K}_{sp}}\]of\[AgI\]is higher than\[{{K}_{sp}}\]of\[AgCl\]

    D)  both\[AgCl\]and\[AgI\]have same solubility product

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    On adding KI, the equilibrium\[AgCl+KIKCl+AgI\]is shifted towards right. This means that\[AgI\]is less soluble than\[AgCl\]. In other words.\[{{K}_{sp}}\]of \[AgI\]is less than\[{{K}_{sp}}\]of\[AgCl\].
