MCQ
The solubility product of lead bromide is $8\times10^{-5}$. If the salt is $80\%$ dissociated in saturated solution, find the solubility of the salt
  • A
    $1.7\times10^{-4}\, M$
  • B
    $2.3\times10^{-6}\, M$
  • C
    $1.8\times10^{-4}\, M$
  • $3.4\times10^{-2}\, M$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3.4\times10^{-2}\, M$
d
$PbB{r_2}(s) \rightleftharpoons \mathop {P{b^{2 + }}}\limits_{0.8\,S}  + \mathop {2B{r^ - }}\limits_{2 \times 0.8\,S} $

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sp}}=\left[\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}\right]\left[\mathrm{Br}^{-}\right]^{2}$

$\Rightarrow 8 \times 10^{-5}=(0.8\, \mathrm{S}) \times(2 \times 0.8\, \mathrm{S})^{2}=2.048 \,\mathrm{S}^{3}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{S}=3.4 \times 10^{-2}\, \mathrm{M}$
