If solid NaCl is added to a saturated water solution of PbCl2 at 20o C, a precipitate is formed. How would this affect the value of the Ksp for [Pb2+][Cl-] in solution?

a) The Ksp increases.
b)The Ksp decreases.
c) The Ksp remains the same.
d) none of the above.

as here common effect will be show due to which reaction move backward means Ksp increases

u der jfraser??

jfraser · Answer

the common ion effect will change the concentrations of the ions in solution, but the value of Ksp is CONSTANT at a constant temp. Ksp does not change

anonymous · Answer

yes yes... u rit ksp only depends the temperature while due to common ion effect only the rate of reaction changes
