Silver cyanide, AgCN(s), is placed in a solution buffered to pH 9.00 at 25 °C. The solubility product constant is Ksp=2.2×10−16K_{sp}=2.2\times10^{-16}, and the acid-dissociation constant of hydrocyanic acid is Ka=6.2×10−10K_a=6.2\times10^{-10}. a. Calculate the molar solubility of AgCN in the buffered solution at pH 9.00. Express your answer in mol L−1^{-1} with appropriate significant figures.
