Problem

A student adds 0.750 g of solid PbCO₃ (molar mass 267.2 g mol⁻¹) to 200.0 mL of pure water at 25 °C and allows the mixture to reach equilibrium. The solubility-product constant for PbCO₃ at this temperature is 7.4×10⁻¹⁴. Which of the following is closest to the mass of PbCO₃ that remains undissolved? (a) 0.000015 g0.000015\,\text{g} (b) 0.749 g0.749\,\text{g} (c) 0.150 g0.150\,\text{g} (d) 0.750 g0.750\,\text{g}
