The solubility constant of
Concept Introduction:
Solubility constant: Equilibrium exists between the solids and its respective ions in solution. Its value indicates the degree to which a compound dissociates in water. Higher the constant value, more the compound soluble.
Radiocarbon dating: The dynamic equilibrium exists in all living organism by exhaling or inhaling, maintain the same ratio of
Half-life period: The time required to reduce to half of its initial value.
Formula used to calculate half-life:
