Chapter 15, Problem 84E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of dissolved ion $\left[{\text{Pb}}^{2+}\right]$ to be calculated with help of the given concentration of ion $\left[{\text{Cl}}^{-}\right]$.

Concept Introduction:

When a solid compound dissolves in the solvent it will break into its constituent ions. The number of positive ions or negative ions of dissolve salt may or may not be equal.

The concentration of the dissolved ion depends upon the type of salt dissolved in the solved.

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 ${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\text{ = }\left[\text{C}\right]\left[\text{D}\right]$.
