Detailed Solution

The solubility of Pb(OH)2 will be suppressed in a solution of PH = 8 due to common ion effect and the following equilibrium gets established.

\large Pb{\left( {OH} \right)_2}\left( s \right) \rightleftharpoons \mathop {Pb{{\left( {OH} \right)}_2}\left( {aq} \right)}\limits_{S'} \xrightarrow{{}}\mathop {P{b^{ + 2}}\left( {aq} \right)}\limits_{S'} + \mathop {2O{H^ - }\left( {aq} \right)}\limits_{2S' + {{10}^{ - 6}}}

Ksp = S' x (2S' +10-6)2

⇒ 4 x (6 x 10-6)3 = S' x 10-12

⇒ S' = 8.64 x 10-4
