Determining if a precipitation will occur:
Determining if a precipitation will occur:
If 5.0 mL of 1.0 x 10-3 M NaCl is added to 1.0 mL of 1.0 x 10-3 M Pb(NO3)2,
will solid PbCl2 (Ksp = 1.7 x 10-5) precipitate?
If a precipitate will not form, what chloride ion concentration
will cause a precipitate of lead chloride to form?

Common Ion Effect: The presence of an ion common to a
solubility equilibrium will decrease solubility of the salt.
Will PbCl2 be more soluble in pure water or
in a 0.200 M NaCl solution?
Common Ion Effect: The presence of an ion common to a
solubility equilibrium will decrease solubility of the salt.
