A student compares the solubility of two silver salts, \(\text{AgCl}\) and \(\text{AgF}\), in pure water and in \(0.10\text{ M }\text{HNO}_3\text{(aq)}\). The student observes that the solubility of \(\text{AgCl}\) is essentially identical in both solutions, whereas the solubility of \(\text{AgF}\) is significantly greater in \(0.10\text{ M }\text{HNO}_3\text{(aq)}\) than in pure water. Which of the following best explains this observation?
