Q.

Solid Lead nitrate is dissolved in 1 litre of water. The solution was found to boil at 100.15°C. When 0.2 mol of NaCl is added to the resulting solution, it was observed that the solution froze at –0.8°C. The solubility product of PbCl2 formed is ______ ×10-6 at 298 K. (Nearest integer)

Given: Kb=0.5 K kg mol-1 and Kf=1.8 K kg mol-1. Assume molality to be equal to molarity in all cases.               [2023]
