Question

Lead (II) Bromide is a slightly soluble solute in water. The following equation represents the equilibrium of PBr2 with its ions in solution.

 
PbBr2(s)                Pb2+(aq)   +    2 Br-(aq)       Ksp= 8´10-5

Where Ksp represents the solubility product constant.

 

a) Calculate the solubility of PbBr2.

 

b) 0.3 ml of 0.5 M solution of potassium bromide KBr is added to 2 L of 0.02M solution of lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2.  Will a precipitate of lead bromide (PbBr2) be formed?
