consider the reaction Ag2O(s) + H2O -> 2Ag+ + 2OH-   Ksp = 3.8 x 10-16  If Ag2O forms to an appreciable extent what effect will this equilibrium have on the solubility of AgCN? Explain your reasoning. Judging by the equilibrium reaction shown, would you expect the effect of this equilibrium on the solubility of AgCN to be pH dependent?
