• A)Nothing will happen since the molar solubility of AgCl is higher than the solution concentrations.
• B)Silver chloride will precipitate out of solution,leaving an unsaturated solution of AgCl.
• C)Silver chloride will precipitate out of solution,leaving a saturated AgCl solution.
• D)Nothing will happen since NaCl and AgNO₃ are both soluble compounds.
