MCQ
On passing $HCl$ gas in saturated solution of $NaCl$, the solubility of $NaCl$ 
  • A
    increases
  • decreases
  • C
    remains unchanged
  • D
    $NaCl$ decomposes

Answer

Correct option: B.
decreases
b
When hydrogen chloride gas $( HCl )$ is circulated through the saturated solution. $HCl$ anc respective ions as:

$NaCl \rightleftharpoons Na ^{+}+ Cl ^{-}$

$HCl \rightleftharpoons H ^{+}+ Cl ^{-}$

The concentration of $Cl ^{-}$ions increases considerably in solution due to ionization $HCl$. decrease due to common ion effect and $NaCl$ get precipitate out.
