Chapter 15, Problem 83E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of ${\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}^{\text{2-}}$ ion to be calculated with the help of given concentration of ${\text{Pb}}^{\text{2+}}$ ion.

Concept Introduction:

When a solid ionic compound or salt dissolved in the solvent it will break into its constituent ion.

The number of ions present in the solvent depends upon the type of compound dissolves in the solvent.

The concentration of positive ions and negative ions present in the solvent may or may not be different it depends upon the type of salt.

The solubility of salt depends upon their solubility product $\left({\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\right)$ value.

For the given chemical equation $\text{A + B }\to \text{ C +}\text{}\text{D}$, the solubility product is given by ${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\text{ = }\left[\text{C}\right]\left[\text{D}\right]$.
