The solubility of AgClS1U1B1 S1U1B0 is determined by the solubility product constant (Ksp). In order for AgClS1U1B1 S1U1B0 to precipitate, the concentration of Ag+ and ClS1U1B1- ions in the solution must exceed the Ksp value. The presence of Ba2+ ions in 0.1 M BaClS1U1B12S1U1B0 solution would form a precipitate of BaClS1U1B12S1U1B0 instead of AgClS1U1B1 S1U1B0. Therefore, the least soluble solution is 0.1 M BaClS1U1B12S1U1B0.
