there are many ionic compounds that dissolve in water to
a very small extent. one example is lead(ii) chloride. when
it dissolves an equilibrium is established between the solid
salt and its component ions. suppose you stir some solid
pbcl2 into water. explain how you would prove that the
compound dissolves but to a small extent? is the dissolving
process product-favored or reactant-favored?
pbcl2(s) 2 pb2+ (aq) + 2 cl-(aq)
