Lead thiocyanate, Pb(SCN)2, has a Ksp value of 2

Chemistry Jan 23, 2021

Lead thiocyanate, Pb(SCN)2, has a Ksp value of 2.00×10−5.

1) Calculate the molar solubility of lead thiocyanate in 1.00 M KSCN.

Expert Solution

Given that Pb(SCN)2, has a Ksp value of 2.00×10−5

Pb(SCN)2 <-------------> Pb2+ + 2SCN-

s 2s s = molar solubility of lead thiocyanate

Ksp = [Pb2+] [SCN-]2

Given that [KSCN] = [SCN-] = 1 M

Hence,

Ksp = [s] [2s + 1 M ]2

2.00 × 10−5 = 4s3 + 4s2 + s

Since s is very small,

s3 and s2 can be neglected.

Then,

2.00×10−5 = s

s = 2.00×10−5 M

Therefore,

molar solubility of lead thiocyanate in 1.00 M KSCN = 2.00×10−5 M
