Answer:
a) 1.5 x 10^-3 mol/L
b) 1.35×10^-8
c) decrease
Explanation:
The solubility of lead II iodide is given by the equation;
PbI2(s) -----> Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-
By looking at the ICE table, I^-=2x= 3.0 x 10^-3 mol/L/2 = 1.5×10^-3 mol/L
Hence molar solubility of PbI2 = 1.5 x 10^-3 mol/L
Ksp= [Pb^2+] [2I^-]^2 =
Let the molar solubility of each ion be x, therefore;
Ksp= 4x^3
Ksp= 4(1.5 x 10^-3 mol/L)^3= 1.35×10^-8
Addition of kI to the saturated solution will shift the equilibrium position to the left thereby decreasing the solubility of the PbI2 in the system due to common ion effect. The concentration of the iodide ion is now excess in the system leading to the reverse reaction being favoured according to Le Chateliers principle.
a) The molar solubility of PbI₂ is [tex]1.5 * 10^{-3} mol/L[/tex]
b) The solubility constant is [tex]1.35*10^{-8}[/tex]
c) The molar solubility of lead (II) will decrease.
Molar Solubility:
The solubility of lead II iodide is given by the equation;
[tex]PbI_2(s) ----- > Pb^{2+}(aq) + 2I^-[/tex]
By looking at the ICE table,
[tex]I^-=2x= 3.0 * 10^{-3} mol/L/2 =[/tex] [tex]1.5 * 10^{-3} mol/L[/tex]
Hence, molar solubility of PbI2 = [tex]1.5 * 10^{-3} mol/L[/tex]
[tex]Ksp= [Pb^{2+}] [2I^-]^2[/tex]
Let the molar solubility of each ion be x, therefore;
[tex]Ksp= 4x^3\\\\Ksp= 4(1.5 * 10^{-3} mol/L)^3\\\\Ksp= 1.35*10^{-8}[/tex]
The addition of KI to the saturated solution will shift the equilibrium position to the left thereby decreasing the solubility of the PbI₂ in the system due to common ion effect. The concentration of the iodide ion is now excess in the system leading to the reverse reaction being favoured according to Le- Ch-ateliers principle.
