Step 1. PbI2(s)⇌Pb2+(aq)+2I−(aq)PbI_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2I^-(aq): with molar solubility ss, [Pb2+]=s[Pb^{2+}]=s, [I−]=2s[I^-]=2s.

Step 2. Ksp=[Pb2+][I−]2=s(2s)2=4s3=3.2×10−8K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][I^-]^2=s(2s)^2=4s^3=3.2\times10^{-8}.

Step 3. s3=3.2×10−84=8×10−9s^3=\dfrac{3.2\times10^{-8}}{4}=8\times10^{-9}. …
