Write the dissolution equation for PbBr2: PbBr2(s) ⇌ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq).
Define the molar solubility of PbBr2 as 's'. This means that at equilibrium, the concentration of Pb²⁺ will be 's' and the concentration of Br⁻ will be '2s'.
Write the expression for the solubility product constant (Ksp) for PbBr2: Ksp = [Pb²⁺][Br⁻]².
Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the Ksp expression: Ksp = (s)(2s)² = 4s³.
Set the Ksp expression equal to the given Ksp value and solve for 's': 4s³ = 4.67 × 10⁻⁶. Solve for 's' to find the molar solubility.
