Lead sulfate, solubility product constant

One salt to examine is PbS04. Lead sulfate dissolves according to the following equation PbS04(s) <—> Pb2+(aq) + S042 (aq). The solubility product constant for lead sulfate can be written as KsP = [Pb2+][S042 ] /1. Notice that the solid was not included in the equilibrium constant expression. What concentration of lead and sulfate ions will you find in a saturated solution of lead sulfate at 298 K The solubility product constant for lead sulfate is 1.6 x 10-8. This means that the concentration of lead ions and sulfate ions is each 1.26 x 10-4M. 

The chemistry of Pb in natural systems is immensely complex. The solubility product constant (/fsp) of lead carbonate, hydroxide, phosphate, sulfide, and sulfate is 10, 10 10 10 , and... 

Lead(II) sulfate is often used as a test for lead(II) ion in qualitative analysis. Using the solubility product constant (Table 18.1), calculate the molar solubility of lead(II) sulfate in water. 

A student measures the solubility of lead(II) sulfate in a water solution to be 3.95 X 10 grams /lOO mL. Based on his data, what is the solubility product constant for this compound ... 

In the lead-acid battery, sulfuric acid has to be considered as an additional component of the charge-discharge reactions. Its equilibrium constant influences the solubility of Pb2+ and so the potential of the positive and negative electrodes. Furthermore, basic sulfates exist as intermediate products in the pH range where Fig. 1 shows only PbO (cf. corresponding Pour-baix diagrams in Ref. [5], p. 37, or in Ref. [11] the latter is cited in Ref. [8]). Table 2 shows the various compounds.
