You have two salts, AgX and AgY, with very similar K_sp values. You know that K_a for HX is much greater than K_a for HY. Which salt is more soluble in acidic solution?
   
  a.
  AgX
   
  b.
  AgY
   
  c.
  They are equally soluble in acidic solution.
   
  d.
  Cannot be determined by the information given.
   
  e.
  None of these (A-D).

Question 2

The two salts AgX and AgY exhibit very similar solubilities in water. It is known that the salt AgX is much more soluble in acid than is AgY. What can be said about the relative strengths of the acids HX and HY?
   
  a.
  Nothing.
   
  b.
  HY is stronger than HX.
   
  c.
  HX is stronger than HY.
   
  d.
  The acids are weak acids and have equal values for K_a.
   
  e.
  Both acids are strong.
