![**Solubility Product Constant Expression for \( \text{PbCO}_3 \)**
In this section, we aim to complete the solubility constant expression for lead(II) carbonate, \( \text{PbCO}_3 \).
**Expression to Complete:**
\[ K_{sp} = \]
**Interactive Elements:**
- The interface displays a mathematical editor with square brackets, potentially used for entering ionic concentration terms.
- There are icons above the editor for formatting, including adjusting subscripts, exponents, and possibly for selecting chemical species.
- Buttons include an "X" for canceling the input and an undo arrow for reversing actions.
**Concept Explanation:**
The solubility product constant, \( K_{sp} \), is crucial in determining the extent to which a compound can dissolve in water. For \( \text{PbCO}_3 \), the dissolution can be represented as:
\[ \text{PbCO}_3(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{Pb}^{2+}(aq) + \text{CO}_3^{2-}(aq) \]
The expression for the solubility product constant \( K_{sp} \) is:
\[ K_{sp} = [\text{Pb}^{2+}][\text{CO}_3^{2-}] \]
Here, \( [\text{Pb}^{2+}] \) and \( [\text{CO}_3^{2-}] \) represent the molar concentrations of the lead and carbonate ions, respectively, at equilibrium.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fcef3f1b2-56cd-4f45-949e-fc7a38ef994c%2Fda929385-719e-4a63-911d-669aab15a2d5%2Fqrddv2q_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
