Question

Choose the incorrect statement;

When sodium sulfate is added to a saturated solution of $PbS{O}_4$ that is at equilibrium,

$PbS{O}_4\left(s\right)\rightleftharpoons P{b}_{2+}\left(aq\right)+S{O}_4^{2-}\left(aq\right)$

• A. the solubility of the lead sulfate will decrease
• B. the concentration of lead ions will decrease
• C. the reaction will shift to the left
• D. the $K_{sp}$ value will change
• E. the equilibrium will shift to consume the increase in sulfate ions

Answer 1

The correct option is D the $K_{sp}$ value will change

Since $K_{SP}$ is also an equilibrium constant, its only depend on temperature So, concentration will not affect this.
