Chapter 6, Problem 6J.11E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of ${\text{Pb}}^{\text{2+}}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Solubility Product:

The equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction in which a solid ionic compound dissolves to yields its ions in solution is known as “solubility product”. It is denoted by ‘${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}$’. Solubility product is also known as “ion product”.

Common ion Effect:

The decrease in solubility of an ionic compound by the addition to the solution of soluble compound contains common ion. That common ion lesser the solubility of the compound.
