\operatorname{AgI}(s)\ {\rightleftarrows\operatorname{Ag^+}}(a q)+\operatorname{I^{-}}(a q)

 

K_{\mathrm{sp}}=[\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{g}}^{+}][\mathrm{I}^{-}]

 

S=[\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{g}}^{+}]=[\mathrm{I}^{-}]

 

K_{\mathrm{sp}}=[\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{g}}^{+}][\mathrm{I}^{-}]

= S\times S

= S^{2}

 

S={\sqrt{K_{\mathrm{sp}}}}

 

S=\sqrt{8.51\times10^{-17}}

= 9.22\times10^{-9}\,\mathrm{M}
