I need some help with this question, if there are any chemistry whizzes around id really appreciate it:

Calculate the solubility of AgCl (in grams of AgCl/ L of solution) in an HCl solution having pH of 2.30. Ksp of silver chloride = 1.7 x 10^-10.

[physicsperson]

so far all i can tell is that from the ph u get the concentration of HCL, then...im lost

A good starting point is to

1) write out a chemical reaction describing the change that you're studying
2) write the definition of K_sp is defined in terms of concentrations

[edit: fixed typo]

ok im workin on it, thanks. if anyone else has tips please help thank you

Treat concentration of HCl as concnetration of chloride anion, and use it in Ksp. You will obtain concnetration of Ag+, which is a good approximation od solubilityof AgCl (note this solublility is in molar concnetration units).

yes that it is true and i have acquired an answer by doing so, thanks so much.
