    When solid lead iodide is added to water, the equilibrium concentration of \[{{I}^{-}}\] becomes\[2.6\times {{10}^{-3}}M\]. What is the \[{{K}_{sp}}\] for \[Pb{{I}_{2}}\]?

    A)  \[2.6\times {{10}^{-3}}M\]

    B)  \[8.8\times {{10}^{-9}}\]

    C)  \[1.8\times {{10}^{-8}}\]

    D)  \[3.5\times {{10}^{-8}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[Pb{{I}_{2}}(s)P\underset{S}{\mathop{{{b}^{2+}}}}\,+{{\underset{2S}{\mathop{2I}}\,}^{-}}\] \[2.6\times {{10}^{-3}}M\] Given, \[2s=2.6\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[s=\frac{2.6\times {{10}^{-3}}}{2}\] \[{{K}_{sp}}=[P{{b}^{2+}}]\,\,{{[{{I}^{-}}]}^{2}}\]         \[=(s)\,{{(2s)}^{2}}\]         \[={{\left( \frac{2.6\times {{10}^{-3}}}{2} \right)}^{2}}\,{{(2.6\times {{10}^{-3}})}^{2}}\]         \[=\frac{2.6\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 6.76\times {{10}^{-6}}}{2}\]      \[=8.8\times {{10}^{-9}}\]
