Common ion effect
Question

Among the following statements

a) If two salts have equal solubility then their solubility products are equal.

b) BaSO4 is more soluble in water than in dil.H2SO4

c) When KI is added to PbI2, the [Pb2+] decreases

d) In any solution containing AgCl, the value of [Ag+][Cl-] is constant at constant temperature.

Moderate
Solution

a) Solubility product depends on the formula type of the salt [so false]

b) \large BaS{O_4}\left( s \right) \rightleftharpoons BaS{O_4}\left( {aq} \right)\xrightarrow{{}}B{a^{ + 2}}\left( {aq} \right) + SO_4^{ - 2}\left( {aq} \right)

In dil.H2SO4, \large SO_4^{ - 2} ions will be present. As a result of common ion effect solubility of BaSO4 in dil H2SO4 will be suppressed. [so true]

c) \large Pb{I_2}\left( s \right) \rightleftharpoons Pb{I_2}\left( {aq} \right)\xrightarrow{{}}P{b^{ + 2}}\left( {aq} \right) + 2{I^ - }\left( {aq} \right)

KI is a strong electrolyte and so will furnish a high concentration of I- ions. As a result of common ion effect, solubility of PbI2 will be suppressed. [so true]

d) \large AgCl\left( s \right) \rightleftharpoons AgCl\left( {aq} \right)\xrightarrow{{}}A{g^ + }\left( {aq} \right) + C{l^ - }\left( {aq} \right)

This is an equilibrium. An equilibrium is characterised by a definite tremperature. [so true]
