Silver chloride (AgCl) is a white solid. For the equilibrium reaction AgCl(s) = Ag+(aq) + Cl‐(aq) The Ksp for AgCl = 1.6 * 10‐10. At equilibrium, would you expect to have more silver and chloride ions or more solid silver chloride?

I think this is a nonsense question although I suspect you have typed it as it was presented to you. I think the author of this problem probably expects you to answer that you expect more solid than the ion (based on the small number for Ksp); however, the amount of solid AgCl remaining after the solution is saturated depends ONLY upon how much AgCl solid you started with.
