Problem: For each pair of compounds, use Ksp values to determine which has the greater molar solubility.PbCO3 or BaCrO4

FREE Expert Solution

We have to determine which of the two given substances (PbCO3 or BaCrO4) has a higher molar solubility.


We can look up the Ksp values of both substances on the internet or in a textbook.

Ksp for PbCO3 = 7.40×10-14

Ksp for BaCrO4 = 1.17×10-10
