A solution contains 0.010 M Ag

^+

and 0.010 M Pb

^{2+}

. The

K_{sp}

values at 25 °C are

K_{sp}(\text{AgCl})=1.8\times10^{-10}

and

K_{sp}(\text{PbCl}_2)=1.6\times10^{-5}

. Calculate the minimum chloride ion concentration that will initiate precipitation of AgCl while leaving Pb

^{2+}

in solution.
