If the solubility product of PbS is 8 × 10–28, then the solubility of PbS in pure water at 298 K is x × 10–16 mol L–1. The value of x is ________. (Nearest integer)
[given : \(\sqrt2=1.41\)]
[given : \(\sqrt2=1.41\)]
Correct Answer: 282
Solution and Explanation
\(\text{PbS(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Pb}^{2+}(\text{aq}) + \text{S}^{2-}(\text{aq})\)
\(Ksp = S2\)
\(8 \times 10^{-28} = \text{S}^{2}\)
\(S = 2\sqrt{2} \times 10^{-14} \, \text{mol/L}\)
\(2.82 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{mol/L} = 282 \times 10^{-16} \, \text{mol/L}\)
Hence, \(x = 282\)\(\)

Solutions
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.
For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.
Types of Solutions:
The solutions can be classified into three types:
- Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
- Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
- Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.
On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:
- Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
- Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
- Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
