JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 5)

The Ksp for the following dissociation is 1.6 × 10–5

$$PbC{l_{2(s)}} \leftrightharpoons Pb_{(aq)}^{2 + } + 2Cl_{(aq)}^ - $$

Which of the following choices is correct for a mixture of 300 mL 0.134 M Pb(NO3)2 and 100 mL 0.4 M NaCl ?
Q > Ksp
Not enough data provided
Q < Ksp
Q = Ksp

Explanation

[Pb2+] = $${{300 \times 0.134} \over {400}}$$

= 1.005 × 10–1 M

[Cl-] = $${{100 \times 0.4} \over {400}}$$

= 10–1 M

$$PbC{l_{2(s)}} \leftrightharpoons Pb_{(aq)}^{2 + } + 2Cl_{(aq)}^ - $$

Q = [Pb2+] × [Cl]2

= 0.1005 × (0.1)2

= 1.005 × 10–3

Given Ksp = 1.6 × 10–5

$$ \therefore $$ Q > Ksp
