Question:medium

The volume of water required to dissolve 0.1 g PbCl\(_2\) to get a saturated solution (in mL) is (Given K\(_{sp}\)(PbCl\(_2\)) = \(3.2 \times 10^{-8}\); Atomic mass of Pb = 207u)

Show Hint

For a sparingly soluble salt of type \(A_x B_y\), the relationship between \(K_{sp}\) and molar solubility (s) is \(K_{sp} = (xs)^x (ys)^y = x^x y^y s^{x+y}\). For PbCl\(_2\), it's type \(AB_2\) (x=1, y=2), which gives \(K_{sp} = 1^1 2^2 s^{1+2} = 4s^3\).
