Extreme weather e.g. snow and cold weather. Another main contributing factor is that many places have a long dry season.
Answer: -
Concentration of PbI₂ = 1.5 x 10⁻³ M
PbI₂ dissociates in water as
PbI₂ ⇄ Pb²⁺ + 2 I⁻
So PbI₂ releases two times the amount of I⁻ as it's own concentration when saturated.
Thus the molar concentration of iodide ion in a saturated PbI₂ solution = [ I⁻] =
= 1.5 x 10⁻³ x 2 M
= 3 x 10⁻³ M
PbI₂ releases the same amount of Pb²⁺ as it's own concentration when saturated.
[Pb²⁺] = 1.5 x 10⁻³ M
So solubility product for PbI₂
Ksp = [Pb²⁺] x [ I⁻]²
=1.5 x 10⁻³ x (3 x 10⁻³)²
= 4.5 x 10⁻⁹

Explanation:

a) Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.
This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.
On increase in amount of reactant

If the reactant is increased, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where more product formation is taking place. As the number of moles of
is increasing .So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction.
b)

Concentration of

On adding more
to 0.370 M at equilibrium :

Initially
0.370 M
At equilibrium:
(0.370-x)M
The equilibrium constant of the reaction = 

The equilibrium expression is given as:
![K_c=\frac{[SbCl_3][Cl_2]}{[SbCl_5]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_c%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BSbCl_3%5D%5BCl_2%5D%7D%7B%5BSbCl_5%5D%7D)

On solving for x:
x = 0.0233 M
The new equilibrium concentrations after reestablishment of the equilibrium :
