    A chemistry question

    I want to find the experimental solubility product constant for PbCl2 (Lead(2) Chloride). The volume of PbCl2 is 100ml, and after Zinc (solid) is mixed with it and left to react for about one day, Zinc has reacted 1.85 E -3 moles. I don't think Zinc has to do anything with Keq of PbCl2 but when I just calculate the Keq using the concentration of Pb (3.6 mol/L) and the concentration of Cl (7.2 mol/L), I get a really big number, using the the following equation:
    PbCl2 ---> Pb+2 + 2Cl-1

    Any other way to do this and get an answer which is around 2.0 E -5 ?
    Baaaaaaaaah

    experimental solubility product
    Wouldn't that infer there's multiplication?

    Yes, there is multiplication like in this:
    [Pb+2] * [Cl-1]2

    But I don't get the right answer with it. I think I also have to use the concentration of Zinc which I am not sure about.

    Still waiting for a good answer....

    well...

    the Ksp of PbCl2 = 1.7 x10^-5

    That's Greek to me, but apparently Google understands it. I did a search for experimental solubility product constant and got a number of interesting hits.
