A saturated solution of AgI contains 0.05 M KNO3. The Ksp for AgI is 8.3 x 10-17 . As a first approximation, assume that the ionic strength of this solution is dominated by 0.05 M KNO3 Calculate μ. Using the EDH, calculate γAg+ and γI-. Taking activities into account, calculate [Ag+] and [I-] in this solution. Was the approximation in Q20a valid? It not, how could you amend your ionic strength calculation?
