  • Calculate the solubility of 0.00333 M PbI2 (Ksp 7.9×10-9) solution with 2 different scenarios.
    • Assume PbI2 solubility is low enough not to effect ionic strength.

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

    • Assume PbI2 solubility effects ionic strength.

       

       

       

       

    • How does the solubility differ and how can you explain the difference?
