Which of the following actions will increase the solubility of AgBr in water? a) increasing the pH b) decreasing the pH c) adding NaBr d) adding NaNO³ e) none of the above.

Answer;

e) none of the above.

Explanation; Solubility is the maximum quantity of solute that can dissolve in a certain quantity of solvent or quantity of solution at a specified temperature or pressure. Solubility depends on factors such as temperature, pressure, molecular size, polarity and a factor such as stirring which increases the speed of dissolving. Therefore; factors such as pH or adding another compound, do not affect the solubility of a substance such as AgBr.
