Question
![**Solubility and Ksp Calculation for Lead Bromide**
The solubility of \( \text{PbBr}_2 \) is measured and found to be \( 4.35 \, \text{g/L} \). Use this information to calculate a \( K_{sp} \) value for lead bromide.
\[ K_{sp} = \] [Provide calculation and answer here.]
**Instructions:**
- Begin by converting the solubility from grams per liter to moles per liter (mol/L).
- Use the chemical formula \( \text{PbBr}_2 \) to establish the dissociation in water and the respective stoichiometry for \( \text{Pb}^{2+} \) and \( \text{Br}^- \) ions.
- Apply the solubility product constant equation based on the dissociation:
\[ \text{PbBr}_2(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{Pb}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{Br}^-(aq) \]
- Calculate \( K_{sp} \) by substituting the equilibrium concentrations into the expression:
\[ K_{sp} = [\text{Pb}^{2+}][\text{Br}^-]^2 \]
For educational purposes, ensure to show each step of the calculation, illustrating principles of solubility equilibrium and stoichiometry. Include any assumptions or approximations made during calculations.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/a59a73bf-87c2-48f6-829d-0178c9223cc0/6294e8db-27f0-43c4-9ae4-6289f882e99a/e674w6g_thumbnail.jpeg)

True Falsearrow_forwardA student does not filter his/her saturated solution before titrating. Will the calculated Ksp probably be too high, too low, or unaffected? Why? Solid substances are not part of equilibrium equations, so their presence would leave the value of Ksp unaffected. The remaining solids would absorb excess H30+ ions during the titration, making the calculated value of [OH ], and thus Ksp, too low. O The remaining solids would dissolve during the titration to give more OH¯. The calculated Ksp would therefore be too high.arrow_forward
