A solution contains I-, Br- and OH- ions. If Ag+ is added, what will the precipitate(s) be?

If you add enough Ag^+ you will ppt all of them; i.e., AgI, AgBr, AgOH (and that will quickly change to Ag2O). If you add Ag^+ drop wise, then AgI ppts first followed by AgBr, then AgOH in that order. Almost all of the AgI will be pptd by the time AgBr starts and almost all of the AgBr will be pptd by the time AgOH starts.
wrong
AgOH, AgI and AgBr
