Dear Student,

Precipitation will occur if ionic product > solubility productIonic product=[Ag+][Cl-]Now, moles of Cl-= 0
20×0 001=0 0002 molMoles of Ag+=0 80×0
01=0 008 molNow, Ionic product=(0 008)(0
0002)= 1 6×10-6Solubility product=1
5×10-10Clearly, Ionic product > Solubility productHence, precipitation will occur
