Of the substances below, __________ will decrease the solubility of Pb(OH)₂ in a saturated solution. A)NaNO₃ B)H₂O₂ C)HNO₃ D)Pb(NO₃)₂ E)NaCl

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding Pb(NO₃)₂ will increase the concentration of Pb²⁺ ions in the solution, which will shift the equilibrium of the dissolution of Pb(OH)₂ to the left, thus decreasing its solubility due to the common ion effect.
