Neither PbCl2 nor PbF2 is appreciably soluble in water. If solid PbCl2 and solid PbF2 are placed in equal amounts of water in separate beakers, in which beaker is the concentration of Pb2+ greater? Equilibrium constants for these solids dissolving in water are as follows: PbCl2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2 Cl(aq)Kc = 1.7 105 PbF2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2 F(aq)Kc = 3.7 108

Although silver chloride is insoluble in water, it readily dissolves upon the addition of ammonia. AgCl(s)+2NH3(aq)Ag(NH3)2+(aq)+Cl(aq) a What is the equilibrium constant for this dissolving process? b Ammonia is added to a solution containing excess AgCl(s). The final volume is 1.00 L and the resulting equilibrium concentration of NH3 is 0.80 M. Calculate the number of moles of AgCl dissolved, the molar concentration of Ag(NH3)2+, and the number of moles of NH3 added to the original solution.

When 250 mg of SrF2, strontium fluoride, is added to 1.00 L of water, the salt dissolves to a very small extent. SrF2(s)Sr2+(aq)+2F(aq) At equilibrium, the concentration of Sr2+ is found to be 1.03 103 M. What is the value of Ksp for SrF2?
