solubility , help needed

find the solubility of PbSO4 ( K = 1.1 * 10-8 ) in 0.1 M aqueous solution of KNO3

help needed badly . thanks guys.

I dunno . whatever you post has to be substantiated by reasoning . I mself don't te answer ,just came across the Q . And as far as I know your answer seems doubtful to me.

will PbSO4 and KNO3 form a complex? if yes then give the formula of complex (1st yr don know coordination compounds) if not then you can just calculate solubility as if it was a solution in water. This is because there will be no common ion effect to affect the solubility. Hence it can be treated as a normal problem

for the given q the ans of mithun is quite right for sure otherwise check the question

pb and so4 ions will remain as it is since all the possible salts i.e. pb(no3)2 and k2so4 are

stng electrolyte, hence the solubility remains unaltered.(i.e√ksp)

well this is out of JEE syllabus must have mentioned it . sry , and yeah I'll know the method but am not able to understand

1) find the ionic strength
2)find appropriate activity co-efficients
3)find solubility .

I'm a bit weak in physical chemistry , Nishant Manish , Gaurav would have studied these no ?

so help needed guys.
thanks

look srinath if u want to have a clear idea about the theory and explanation part for the physical i can suggest the SHISHIR MITTAL'S book on physical chemistry but right now it is not recommended for you
the best is u go through only NCERT and thats enough and for in the later stage u will deal with this types of things if u got chemical engineering as ur stream and with the help of chemical potential u will learn to solve the problems
as the term activity is not something we knew in this stage so the things will come to u just wait .......
