Ionic equilibrium
Question

Ksp of PbBr2 (Molar mass= 367 ) is 3 .2 x 10-5 • If the salt is 80% dissociated in solution, calculate the solubility of salt in gram per litre. (in litre-1)

Moderate
Solution

Let solubility of PbBr2 is S mol litre-1 

PbBr2(s)+aqS×80100Pb2++2Br2s×80100

Since, PbBr2 ionizes to 80% only. 

Now, Ksp=Pb2+Br2

or 3.2×105=S×801002S×801002S=0.025 mollitre e1=0.025×367glitre1=9.175glitre1
