A 2.5-mL sample of 0.188 M silver nitrate solution was mixed with \(2.5
\mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.188 \mathrm{M}\) sodium chloride solution labeled with
radioactive chlorine-36. The activity of the initial sodium chloride solution
was \(2.46 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~Bq} / \mathrm{mL}\) After the resultant
precipitate was removed by filtration, the remaining filtrate was found to
have an activity of 175 Bq/mL. (a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the
reaction that occurred. (b) Calculate the \(K_{s p}\) for the precipitate under
the conditions of the experiment.
