CO(h20)6 2+ + 4Cl- <=> CoCl4 2- + 6H20
What would AgNO3 do when added to this?
What is the equilibrium expression?

See above.
Because AgNO3 has nitrate in it, and nitrate is ALWAYS soluable, the AgNO3 dissociates 100%, which means that in the solution there are Ag+ and NO3- ions.
When added to this equation, the Ag+ ions and Cl- ions will react using up some of the Cl- ions in the reactants side, thus the shift will be to the left to make up for any used Cl- ions that reacted.
The equilibrium expression is always the concentration of products divided by concentration of reactants.
Thus Kc=[CoCl4][H2O]/[Co(H2O)6+2][Cl-]
