Answer

$K_{ps} = 4 \times 10^{-6} $

Work Step by Step

1. Write the Kps formula: $K_{ps} = [Pb^{2+}]*[Br^-]^2$ 2. Find the Kps value: $[PbBr_2]= 1 \times 10^{-2} M$ $[Pb^{2+}] = 1 * ( 1 \times 10^{-2}) = 1 \times 10^{-2} M$ $[Br^-] = 2 *( 1 \times 10^{-2}) M = 2 \times 10^{-2} M$ $K_{ps} = [ 1 \times 10^{-2}] * [2 \times 10^{-2}]^2$ $K_{ps} = 1 \times 10^{-2} * 4 \times 10^{-4} $ $K_{ps} = 4 \times 10^{-6} $
