Answer: This is a typical acid/base equilibrium problem, that involves the use of logarithms.
Explanation:We assume that both nitric acid and hydrochloric acid dissociate to give stoichiometric
H

O
+
.
Moles of nitric acid:
26.0

And, moles of hydrochloric acid:

This molar quantity is diluted to

. Concentration in moles/Litre =

Now we know that water undergoes autoprotolysis:

. This is another equilibrium reaction, and the ion product

[

=
K

. This constant,

So

[

Alternatively, we know further that
p

. Once you have
p

,
p

is easy to find. Take the antilogarithm of this to get
[

H
−
]
.

Ksp of PbBr₂ is 6.60 × 10⁻⁶. The molar solubility of PbBr₂ in pure water is 0.0118M.
Ksp or Solubility Product Constant is an equilibrium constant for the dissociation in an aqueous solution.
Molar solubility (S) is the concentration of the dissolved substance in a solution that is saturated.
Let the molar solubility be S upon dissociation.
PbBr₂ or Lead Bromide dissociates in pure water as follows:
PbBr₂ ----------> Pb⁺² + Br⁻
S 2S
Ksp = [Pb⁺²] [ Br⁻]
Ksp = (S) (2S)²
Ksp = 4S³
6.60 × 10⁻⁶ = 4S³
S = 0.0118M
Hence, the Molar solubility S is 0.0118M.
