6-2.Equilibrium-II (Ionic Equilibrium)
medium

At equilibrium, if to a saturated solution of $NaCl,\,HCl$ is passed, $NaCl$ gets precipitated because

A

$HCl$ is a strong acid

B

Solubility of $NaCl$ decreases

C

Ionic product of $NaCl$ becomes greater than its ${K_{sp}}$

D

$HCl$ is a weak acid

Solution

(c) $NaC{l_{({\rm{s}})}} ⇌ Na_{({\rm{aq}})}^ + + Cl_{({\rm{aq}})}^ – $

$HCl⇌ {H^ + } + C{l^ – }$. The increase in $[C{l^ – }]$brings in an increase in $[N{a^ + }]$$[C{l^ – }]$which will lead for backward reaction because

${K_{sp}}(NaCl) = [N{a^ + }]\,\,[C{l^ – }]$

means Ionic product $ \ge {K_{sp}}$
