Chapter 6, Problem 6I.1AST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar solubility of lead(II) iodate at $\text{25}\text{°C}$ is $\text{40}\text{μmol}\cdot {\text{L}}^{\text{-1}}$, the value of ${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}$ has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Solubility product:

The equilibrium constant is defined as solubility product and it denoted by the symbol of ${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}$.  It is expressed by the chemical reaction equilibrium between an ionic solid compound and its ions solubility nature in the solution.
