    The solubility product of \[PbB{{r}_{2}}\] is \[10.8\times {{10}^{-5}}\]. It, is \[70%\] dissociated in saturated solution. The solubility of salt is:

    A) \[4.18\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                            

    B) \[6.76\times {{10}^{-3}}\]

    C) \[3.4\times {{10}^{-4}}\]                              

    D)  \[5.44\times {{10}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: First find relationship between solubility and solubility product.                 \[PbB{{r}_{2}}P{{b}^{2+}}+2B{{r}^{-}}\]                 \[{{K}_{sp}}=[P{{b}^{2+}}]{{[B{{r}^{-}}]}^{2}}\] given\[{{K}_{sp}}PbB{{r}_{2}}=10.8\times {{10}^{-5}}\]                 \[\alpha =70%\]                 Solubility\[=x\,\,mol/L\] \[\therefore \]  \[[P{{b}^{2+}}]=0.7\,\,x\],                 \[[B{{r}^{-}}]=2\times 0.7\times x=1.4\,\,x\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{K}_{sp}}=[P{{b}^{2+}}]{{[B{{r}^{-}}]}^{2}}\]                 \[=(0.7x){{(1.4x)}^{2}}\] or            \[10.8\times {{10}^{-5}}=1.372{{x}^{3}}\] or            \[x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{10.8\times {{10}^{-5}}}{1.372}}\]                 \[=4.18\times {{10}^{-2}}\]
