A solution contains 1.0 10 4 M Cu + and 2.0 10 3 M Pb

Question:

A solution contains 1.0 × 10–4 M Cu+ and 2.0 × 10–3 M Pb2+. If a source of I is added to this solution gradually, will PbI2 (Ksp = 1.4 × 10–8) or CuI (Ksp = 5.3 × 10–12) precipitate first? Specify the concentration of I necessary to begin precipitation of each salt.
