Chapter 17, Problem 13E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “The solubility of a salt $\text{MA}$ is decreased in a solution that already contains either ${\text{M}}^{+}$ or ${\text{A}}^{-}$ ."

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “Common ion alter the equilibrium constant for the reaction of an ionic solid with water.”

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “The common ion effect does not apply to unusual ions like ${\text{SO}}_{\text{3}}{}^{-}$ .”

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The authenticity of the given statement, “The solubility of a salt $\text{MA}$ is affected equally by the addition of either ${\text{A}}^{-}$ or a non common ion.”
