  3. What is the molar solubility(M) of PbBr2 in a 0.500M Pb(NO3)2 solution?

Concepts and reason
Solubility:
Solubility is defined as the maximum quantity of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent to make a saturated solution at a particular temperature.

Molar solubility:
Molar solubility is the number of moles of a solute that can be dissolved in one liter of a solution. It is expressed as mol/L or M (molarity).

Common ion effect:
Common ion effect is defined as the solubility of a partially soluble salt which will decrease with the addition of a soluble salt that has an ion in common with it.

Fundamentals
