Concept introduction:
The amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of the solvent to form a saturated solution at a given temperature is termed as the solubility of the solute in the solvent at that temperature.
The solubility product of a sparingly-soluble salt is given as the product of the concentration of the ions raised to the power equal to the number of times the ion occurs in the equation, after the dissociation of the electrolyte.
The number of moles of the solute dissolved per litre of the solution is called molar solubility.
For a general reaction:
The solubility product can be calculated by the expression as:
Here,
