Question

Using the new ordering system, can we change the Lead and Silver rule to simply:
"Lead and silver salts are generally insoluble?" Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

We cannot.


Explanation:

When pure Silver is added to Lead metal, the freezing point of Lead lowers along the curves AO. However. AO is the freezing point curve of Lead in presence of Silver. Along this curve solid Lead is in equilibrium with liquid melt solution of Silver and Lead.
