If a student adds solid sodium chloride to a saturated solution of ammonium chloride, the correct interpretation of LeChatelier's Principle will predict that

a. more solid will dissolve
b. more solid will precipitate
c. ammonia will form by a redox reaction
d. metallic sodium will form by a redox reaction
e. the equilibrium constant will decrease

My initial guess for this problem was B. more solid will precipitate but i wanted to see if there was a better answer to the question. Thanks.

Just try to figure out what happens to the equilibrium :

$$ \mathrm{NH_4Cl} /$$  $$\mathrm{NH_4^+} + \mathrm{Cl^-}/$$

on the addition of NaCl :

$$ \mathrm{NaCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na^+} + \mathrm{Cl^-}/$$

I have a feeling the degree of dissociation of NaCl is greater than NH₄Cl so the NH₄Cl will precipitate
