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.
