Concept explainers
To what reaction does the solubility product constant, Ksp, refer? Table 15-1 lists Ksp values for several ionic solids. For any of these ionic compounds, you should be able to calculate the solubility. What is the solubility of a salt, and what procedures do you follow to calculate the solubility of a salt? How would you calculate the Ksp value for a salt given the solubility?
Interpretation:
The solubility product constant; solubility of a salt and the procedure to calculate the solubility of salt and the
Concept introduction:
The chemical laws of equilibrium for the dissolution of salt in a solvent. The dissolution of a salt depends on the type of salt whether it is completely soluble or partially soluble.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The salts that do not dissolve completely in a solvent or they show the partial dissociation, for them solubility product that is
The solubility is defined as the amount of a particular salt that can dissolve in a given amount of a solvent at a particular temperature
The solubility product of a salt is equal to the product of concentration of each ion present in the salt and raised to the power equal to their stoichiometric coefficient.

The solubility is defined as the amount of a particular salt that can dissolve in a given amount of a solvent at a particular temperature
The solubility is defined as the amount of a particular salt that can dissolve in a given amount of a solvent at a particular temperature. Therefore solubility of salt is also the amount of salt that can dissolve in the given amount of solvent. Solubility depends on the temperature conditions.
To determine the solubility of a salt its
Let the solubility of both the ions be
The concentration of A is
The value of solubility product
Substitute the value of concentration of each species in the above equation as,
Now if the value of

The value of solubility product
Substitute the value of concentration of each species in the above equation as,
This gives the solubility product of the salt.
The solubility of a sparingly soluble salt and its solubility product are related to each other and both are dependent on the temperature conditions.

- Solubility is an equilibrium position, whereas Ksp is an equilibrium constant. Explain the difference.arrow_forwardThe concentration of barium in a saturated solution of barium sulfate at a particular temperature is 1.2 g/mL.

- Solubility Equilibria Consider three hypothetical ionic solids: AX, AX2, and AX3 (each X forms X). Each of these solids has the same Ksp value, 5.5 10 7. You place 0.25 mol of each compound in a separate container and add enough water to bring the volume to 1.0 L in each case. a Write the chemical equation for each of the solids dissolving in water. b Would you expect the concentration of each solution to be 0.25 M in the compound? Explain, in some detail, why or why not. c Would you expect the concentrations of the A cations (A+, A2+, and A3+) in the three solutions to be the same? Does just knowing the stoichiometry of each reaction help you determine the answer, or do you need something else? Explain your answer in detail, but without doing any arithmetic calculations. d Of the three solids, which one would you expect to have the greatest molar solubility? Explain in detail, but without doing any arithmetic calculations. e Calculate the molar solubility of each compound.arrow_forwardHow would the solubility of calcium fluoride be affected by the presence of fluoride ion from another source?
