Step 1. Ag2CrO4(s)⇌2Ag+(aq)+CrO42−(aq)Ag_2CrO_4(s) \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+(aq)+CrO_4^{2-}(aq). In 0.1M K2CrO4K_2CrO_4, [CrO42−]≈0.1[CrO_4^{2-}]\approx0.1 M (dominated by the added salt; Ag2CrO4Ag_2CrO_4's own tiny contribution is negligible).

Step 2. Ksp=[Ag+]2[CrO42−]=[Ag+]2×0.1=1.1×10−12K_{sp}=[Ag^+]^2[CrO_4^{2-}]=[Ag^+]^2\times0.1=1.1\times10^{-12}.

Step 3. [Ag+]2=1.1×10−120.1=1.1×10−11[Ag^+]^2=\dfrac{1.1\times10^{-12}}{0.1}=1.1\times10^{-11}, so [Ag+]=1.1×10−11≈3.317×10−6[Ag^+]=\sqrt{1.1\times10^{-11}}\approx3.317\times10^{-6} M. …
