Which of the following salts would give you the lowest concentration of lead ions in solution if you placed 1 mole of the salt in a liter of water?

a. PbSO4 Ksp= 1.8 x 10-8

b. PbCO3 Ksp= 1.5 x 10-13

c. PbSeO4 Ksp= 1.5 x 10-7

d. PbCrO4 Ksp= 1.8 x 10-14

Answer is D [Correct, Ksp = [Product+][Product-], lowest Ksp means this product is lowest]

Question 2
Which of the following salts would give you the lowest concentration of sulfate ions in solution if you placed 1 mole of the salt in a liter of water?

a. BaSO4 Ksp= 1.1 x 10-10

b. CaSO4 Ksp= 2.4 x 10-5

c. SrSO4 Ksp= 2.8 x 10-7

d. PbSO4 Ksp= 1.8 x 10-8

Answer is C : [Wrong, Ksp = [Product+][Product-], lowest Ksp means this product is low]

For a reaction AB <=> nA+ + mB-, Ksp = [A+]^n *[B-]^m, n and m are integers. If [A+] and [B-] are very low, Ksp will also be very low. (Same reasoning was applied to the first question) Correct answer is A
