The student placed 10 mL of PbCl2 (saturated solution) in the test tube and added a pinch of lead acetate. When the test tube was shaken, a white precipitate of PbCl2 formed. As lead acetate is added, how is this affecting the QUANTITY of PbCl2?
At lead acetate disolution, concentration of lead cations will increase. According to Le Chatelie's principle equilibrium will be displaced towards formation of solid lead chloride.
