- For a salt that has the general formula MX, an ICE chart shows that the Ksp is equal to x2, where x is the concentration of the cation. What is the appropriate formula for the Ksp of a salt that has a general formula of MX2?
- Referring to Exercise 15, what is the appropriate formula for the Ksp of a salt that has a general formula of M2X3 if the concentration of the cation is defined as 2x, rather than x?
- Consider a saturated solution of PbBr2(s). If [Pb2+] is 1.33 × 10−5 M, find each of the following.
- [Br−]
- the Ksp of PbBr2(s)
- Consider a saturated solution of Pb3(PO4)2(s). If [Pb2+] is 7.34 × 10−14 M, find each of the following.

Answers
- They are reciprocals of each other.
- increase the pressure; decrease the temperature; add PCl3; add Cl2; remove PCl5
- favour products because the numerator of the ratio for the Keq is larger than the denominator
- [latex]K_{\text{a}}\times K_{\text{b}}=\dfrac{[\ce{H+}]\cancel{[\ce{X-}]}}{\cancel{[\ce{HX}]}}\times \dfrac{\cancel{[\ce{HX}]}[\ce{OH-}]}{\cancel{[\ce{X-}]}}=[\ce{H+}][\ce{OH-}]=K_{\text{w}}[/latex]
