In qualitative analysis, the metals of group I can be separated from other ions by precipitating them as chloride salts. A solution initially contains Ag+\mathrm{Ag}^{+}Ag+and Pb2+\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}Pb2+ at a concentration of 0.10M0.10 \mathrm{M}0.10M. Aqueous HCl\mathrm{HCl}HCl is added to this solution until the Cl−\mathrm{Cl}^{-}Cl−concentration is 0.10M0.10 \mathrm{M}0.10M. What will be the concentration of Ag+\mathrm{Ag}^{+}Ag+and Pb2+\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}Pb2+ be at equilibrium? ( KspK_{\mathrm{sp}}Ksp​ for AgCl=1.8×10−10,Ksp\mathrm{AgCl}=1.8 \times 10^{-10}, K_{\mathrm{sp}}AgCl=1.8×10−10,Ksp​ for PbCl2=1.7×10−5\mathrm{PbCl}_2=1.7 \times 10^{-5}PbCl2​=1.7×10−5 )
