In the following reaction,

AgCl + KI   ⇌  KCl + AgI

as KI  is added, the equilibrium is shifted towards right giving more AgI precipitate, because:

  1. both AgCl and AgI are sparingly soluble
  2. the Ksp of AgI is lower than Ksp of AgCl
  3. the Ksp of AgI is higher than Ksp of AgCl
  4. both AgCl and AgI have same solubility product

Answer

(B) the K sp of AgI is lower than K sp of AgCl
