The dissolution of PbI2(s) is represented above.
Write a mathematical expression that can be used to determine the value of S, the molar solubility of PbI2(s). (Do not do any numerical calculations.)
The molar solubility of lead II iodide is 1.21 × 10^-3 M.
<h3>What is solubility product?</h3>
The term solubility product refers to the equilibrium constant that shows the extent to which a substance is dissolved in water. For the dissolution of lead II iodide we can write;
