In an aquarium the water quantity is limited and fish excrete ammonia through their gills and body, this dissolves in water and creates toxins.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- In an aquarium the water quantity is limited and fish excrete ammonia through their gills and body, this dissolves in water and creates toxins. Over some time some bacteria develop in water which converts this ammonia into nitrites and then into nitrates. Till this process is complete, the aquarium remains a death trap.
There are some reasons for a fish to die early,
- This one is common for beginners. They don’t have any idea about the nitrogen cycle. And they simply buy a fish tank and fish on the same day, go home and set it up.
- Ammonia spikes - Even in a cycled tank, you can have occasional ammonia spikes due to overfeeding. Incompatible tank mates - If you put a too docile fish with a very aggressive cichlid, it will get harassed and eventually die due to stress.

Answer:
1.7 * 10^-5
Explanation:
1- get the number of moles of PbCl2:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 0.45 / 278.1 = 1.618 * 10^-3 moles
2- get the concentration of Pb2+:
molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
molarity = (1.618 * 10^-3) / (0.1) = 0.0162 M
3- getting concentration of Cl-:
<span>PbCl2(s) <==> Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
</span>We can note that:
For a certain amount of Pb2+ formed, twice this amount of Cl- is formed.
This means that:
for 0.0162 M of Pb2+, 2*0.0168 = 0.0324 M of Cl- is formed
4- getting Ksp:
Ksp = [Pb2+][Cl-]²
Ksp = (0.0162)*(0.0324)²
Ksp = 1.7 * 10^-5
Hope this helps :)
