JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2018 - 15th April Morning Slot - No. 24)

The minimum volume of water required to dissolve 0.1 g lead (II) chloride to get a saturated solution (Ksp of PbCl2 = 3.2 $$ \times $$ 10-8 atomic mass of Pb = 207 u ) is :
0.36 L
17.98 L
0.18 L
1.798 L

Explanation

Given,

Ksp of PbCl2 = 3.2 $$ \times $$10$$-$$8

PbCl2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ Pb2+ 2Cl
Initially 1 0 0
At equilibrium 1-s s 2s


Ksp = [s] [2s]2

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ Ksp = 4s3

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ 4s3 = 3.2 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$8

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\,\,\,\,$$ s3 = 8 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$9

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\,\,\,\,$$ s = 2 $$ \times $$ 10 $$-$$3 M

Solubility = $${{no.\,\,of\,moles\,\,of\,\,pbc{l_2}\,} \over {volume\,(in\,\,litre)}}$$

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ 2 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$3 = $${{0.1} \over {278}}$$ $$ \times $$ $${1 \over V}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\,\,\,\,$$ V = $${{0.1} \over {278}}$$ $$ \times $$ $${{{{10}^3}} \over 2}$$ = 0.18 L
