Question

Using a value of Ksp = 1.8 X 10-2 for the reaction PbCl2 Pb2+ + 2Cl -, the concentration of the products yields a value of 2.1 X 10-2:
Precipitation will occur.
Precipitation will not occur.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, Precipitation will occur.

Explanation:

The solubility product of salt = $K_{sp}=1.8\times 10^{-2}$

Ionic product of the salt = $K_i=2.1\times 10^{-2}$

$K_i>K_{sp}$  Precipitation

$K_i$ No Precipitation

Precipitation of salt occurs when its ionic product exceed sits solubility product.So, here in this case lead chloride's ionic product is greater than that of its solubility product which means that  precipitation will occur. .

Answer 2

Precipitation will occur
