Chapter 15, Problem 85E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar solubility of compound ${\text{CaCO}}_{\text{3}}$ to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Molar solubility can be defined as number of moles dissolves per liter of the solution.

The unit of molar solubility is $\text{M}$ or $\frac{\text{mol}}{\text{liter}}$.

If a salt on dissociation give same number of positive and negative ion in such cases molar solubility is equal to concentration of either ion.

The solubility of salt depends upon their solubility product $\left({\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\right)$ value.

For the given chemical equation $\text{A + B }\to \text{ C +}\text{}\text{D}$, the solubility product is given by ${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\text{ = }\left[\text{C}\right]\left[\text{D}\right]$.
