Consider the following insoluble salt: CaCO 3 (s) Will the solubility of this salt increase, decrease, or remain the same after adding: Sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) solubility will  because CO 3 2- is basic: the acid will react with the base, thereby removing a product, shifting the equilibrium to the right Hydrochloric acid (HCl) solubility will  because CO 3 2- is basic: the acid will react with the base, thereby removing a product, shifting the equilibrium to the right Calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) solubility will  because you are adding a common ion (Ca2+) that shifts the equilibrium to the left

Consider the following insoluble salt: AgCl(s) Will the solubility of these salts increase, decrease, or remain the same after adding: Sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) increase; SO 4 2- interacts with Ag + to form an insoluble compound, removing a product and shifting equilibrium to the right Hydrochloric acid (HCl) decrease; because Cl - is a common ion and shifts the equilibrium to the left Calcium Chloride (CaCl 2 ) decrease; again, Cl - is a common ion and shifts the equilibrium to the left, thus reducing the solubility
