A solution of PbCl2 has 0.018 moles of Cl- and 0.0089 moles of Pb2+. Its Ksp = 2.88x10-6 (based on molarities), and its ionic strength = 0.027.  a)  What are the activity coefficients of Pb2+ and Cl-? b) Use activities of ions instead of molarities to calculate a value for the thermodynamic solubility product of the solution.
