Answer:
The minimum concentration of Cl⁻ that produces precipitation is 12.6M
Explanation:
The Ksp of PbCl₂ is expressed as:
PbCl₂(s) → Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
The Ksp is:
Ksp = 1.6 = [Pb²⁺] [Cl⁻]²
When Ksp = [Pb²⁺] [Cl⁻]² the solution begind precipiration.
A 0.010M Pb(NO₃)₂ is 0.010M Pb²⁺, thus:
1.6 = [0.010M] [Cl⁻]²
160 = [Cl⁻]²
12.6M = [Cl⁻]
The minimum concentration of Cl⁻ that produces precipitation is 12.6M
