Question

Using a value of Ksp = 1.8 x 10-2 for the reaction PbCl2 Pb+2(aq) + 2Cl -(aq). If the value of Ksp was determined to be only 1.2 x 10-2: Too much solid has dissolved. Additional precipitate is forming. The solution is unsaturated. The ions are now combining to reduce their concentrations.

Answer 1

The ions are now combining to reduce their concentrations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The ions are now combining to reduce their concentrations.

Step-by-step explanation:

• For the chemical equation:

PbCl₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq),

It is mentioned that the value of Ksp is 1.8 × 10⁻².

∵ The solubility product is lower for this reaction that means the ions produced are getting combined.

∴ Resulting in reducing the concentration of the ions and increasing the formation of the solid lead chloride.

• So, The ions are now combining to reduce their concentrations.
