The copper(I) ion forms a chloride salt (CuCl) that has Ksp = 1.2 x 10-6. Copper(I) also forms a complex ion with Cl-:Cu+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) ⇄ CuCl2- (aq) K = 8.7 x 104(a) Calculate the solubility of CuCl in pure water. (Ignore CuCl2- formation for part a).(b) Calculate the solubility of CuCl in 0.100 M NaCl solution.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
