Silver acetate, AgC2H3O2, is a sparingly soluble salt with Ksp = 1.9 × 10–3. Consider a saturated solution in equilibrium with the solid salt. Compare the effects on the solubility of adding to the solution either the acid HNO3 or the base NH3.

Either substance would decrease the solubility.◦
NH3 would increase the solubility, but HNO3 would decrease it.◦
NH3 would increase the solubility, but HNO3 would have virtually no effect.◦
