Solubility product in acid:
The mixture of metal cations
In this precipitation, the metal cations are classified into two types, they are very insoluble sulphides and more soluble sulphides. The more soluble sulphides are
These solubility difference is used for separation of metal cation in the mixture in acidic condition. The equilibrium reaction of metal sulphide in acid is,
The equilibrium constant of above reaction is called the solubility product
The reaction quotient
Precipitation will occurs if
