#a.# #NH_3(aq)#
#b.# #NaNO_3(aq)(aq)#
#c.# #NaBr(aq)#
#d.# #Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)#
1 Answer
The answer is indeed (c),
Explanation:
The solubility of silver halides in water is another equilibrium reaction, one that we treat in the normal way:
Note that the reactant,
This relationship governs the solubility of silver bromide in water. If
