Answer:

Option (E) is correct

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of [tex]Pb(IO_{3})_{2}[/tex] is given as follows-

                   [tex]Pb(IO_{3})_{2}\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2IO_{3}^{-}[/tex]

Hence, if solubility of [tex]Pb(IO_{3})_{2}[/tex] is S (M) then-

                             [tex][Pb^{2+}]=S(M)[/tex] and [tex][IO_{3}^{-}]=2S(M)[/tex]

Where species under third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

So, solubility product of [tex]Pb(IO_{3})_{2}[/tex] , [tex]K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][IO_{3}^{-}]^{2}[/tex]

Here, [tex][Pb^{2+}]=S(M)=5.0\times 10^{-5}M[/tex]

So, [tex][IO_{3}^{-}]=2S(M)=(2\times 5.0\times 10^{-5})M=1.0\times 10^{-4}M[/tex]

So, [tex]K_{sp}=(5.0\times 10^{-5})\times (1.0\times 10^{-4})^{2}=5.0\times 10^{-13}[/tex]

Hence option (E) is correct
