Compare the solubility of lead carbonate in each of the following aqueous solutions: 0.10 M Pb(NO3)2 0.10 M K2CO3 0.10 M NaCH3COO 0.10 M NH4NO3 More soluble than in pure water. Similar solubility as in pure water. Less soluble than in pure water.
First of solubility is affected by temperature explained by Le Chatlier's principle, Pressure explained by Henry's law and Common ion effect.
In Pb(NO3)2: Les soluble than in water due to the presence of Common ion Pb+2
In K2CO3: Less soluble than in water due to presence of CO32- ion
In CH3COONa: similar solubility as in water.
In NH4NO3: more soluble than in water since NH4+ is acidic in nature and CO32- is basic in nature and both combine together to form stable H2CO3.
NH4+ +CO32- ----> H2CO3 + NH3
