MCQ
At $25\,^oC\,,\, K_{sp}$ for $PbBr_2$ is equal to $8 \times 10^{-5}$ . If the salt is $80\%$ dissociated, what is the solubility of $PbBr_2$ in $mol/litre$ ?
  • ${\left[ {\frac{{{{10}^{ - 4}}}}{{1.6 \times 1.6}}} \right]^{1/3}}$
  • B
    ${\left[ {\frac{{{{10}^{ - 5}}}}{{1.6 \times 1.6}}} \right]^{1/3}}$
  • C
    ${\left[ {\frac{{{{10}^{ - 4}}}}{{0.8 \times 0.8}}} \right]^{1/3}}$
  • D
    ${\left[ {\frac{{{{10}^{ - 5}}}}{{1.6 \times 1.6}}} \right]^{1/2}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
${\left[ {\frac{{{{10}^{ - 4}}}}{{1.6 \times 1.6}}} \right]^{1/3}}$
a
$PbB{r_2} \rightleftharpoons \mathop {P{b^{ + 2}}(aq)}\limits_{0.8\,S}  + \mathop {2B{r^ - }(aq)}\limits_{2 \times 0.8\,S} $

$8 \times 10^{-5}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sp}}=(0.8\, \mathrm{S})(1.6 \,\mathrm{S})^{2}$

$S=\left(\frac{10^{-4}}{1.6 \times 1.6}\right)^{1 / 3}$
