The solubility product of lead fluoride is 3.6 x 10–8. what is its solubility in 0.10m naf solution, in grams per liter

8.8 × 10⁻³ g/L

Explanation:

NaF is a strong electrolyte that ionizes according to the following reaction.

NaF(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)

Then, the concentration of F⁻ will also be 0.10 M.

In order to find the solubility of PbF₂ (S), we will use an ICE Chart.

        PbF₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2 F⁻(aq)

I                           0                0.10

C                         +S               +2S

E                          S              0.10 + 2S

The solubility product (Kps) is:

Kps = 3.6 × 10⁻⁸ = [Pb²⁺].[F⁻]² = S . (0.10 + 2S)²

In the term 0.10 + 2S, 2S is negligible in comparison with 0.10 and we can omit it to simplify calculations.

Kps = 3.6 × 10⁻⁸ = S . (0.10)²

S = 3.6 × 10⁻⁵ M

The molar mass of PbF₂ is 245.20 g/mol. The solubility of PbF₂ in g/L is:

3.6 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L × 245.20 g/mol = 8.8 × 10⁻³ g/L
