Interpretation:
The solubility product
Concept introduction:
The solubility product is the ability of the solid to dissolve in aqueous solution. The more the solubility product the more the solid dissolves in solution. It is denoted as
It can also be represented in partial pressure form as shown below
Also, the concentration of liquid and solid is not considered in writing the expression.
