Interpretation:
The solubility product constant
Concept introduction:
At a given temperature, the product ofmolar concentrations of the ions of a salt present in the solution is known as the solubility product of the salt. It is represented by
Higher is the value of solubility product of a salt, higher is its solubility.
The presence of common ions in the solution decreases the solubility of a given compound.
For a general reaction:
The solubility product can be calculated by the expression as:
Here,
