Explanation / Answer

1. Ksp of PbF2:

The dissolved PbF2 will be present in the form of ions so that,

[Pb2+] = [F-]2 = 3.0 * 10-3 M

Ksp = [Pb2+] [F-]2

  = (3.0 * 10-3 M) * (2 * 3.0 * 10-3 M)2 = 108 * 10-9 = 1.1 * 10-7

Answer is e) 1.1 * 10-7

2. Use the pH to get the pOH:

14.00 - 10.64 = 3.36

Use the pOH to get the [OH
