Problem: Consider a beaker containing a saturated solution of PbI2 in equilibrium with undissolved PbI2(s). Now solid KI is added to this solution.Indicate how the amount of solid PbI2 at the bottom of the beaker, concentration of Pb2+ ions, and concentration of I- ions changes.
🤓 Based on our data, we think this question is relevant for Professor Bindell's class at UCF.

PbI2 → Pb2+ + 2 I-
KI (s) → K+ (aq) + I- (aq)
I- → product
addition I- → addition product
