Chapter 18, Problem 82IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solubility of PbCl_2, in 0.10 M $\text{HCl}\left(aq\right)$ should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Concept introduction:

The formation constant, K_f, of a complex ion is the equilibrium constant that defines the formation of a complex ion. Solubility product constant is defined as an equilibrium constant for salts which are slightly soluble in an aqueous solution.

It is the amount up to which a solute can dissolve in solution. Equilibrium constant, K, for a net ionic equation can calculated with use of solubility of each equilibrium or with use of other equilibrium constants.

PbCl₂ forms [PbCl₂]^- ion complex in acidic medium.
