Answer:

Explanation:

Photoelectric effect was discovered in 1887 by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. It refers to the ejection or emission of electrons when light hits a material (generally metal). Emitted electrons are called photo-electrons but the intensity of the light determine the kinetic energy of emitted electron.

Intensity of light is directly proportional to the kinetic energy emitted by an electron, that means more intensity the light have more will be the kinetic energy emitted by an electron.

The ksp value for lead(ii chloride is 2.4 × 10?4. what is the molar solubility of lead(ii chloride?

charle [14.2K]

Molar solubility is number of moles of the solute that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated.

The molar solubility of lead(ii) chloride with ksp value of 2.4 × 10e4 can be solve as:

Ksp = s2 = 2.4 × 10e4
s2 = 2.4 × 10e4
s = √(2.4 × 10e4)
s = 154.9 mol/L
