Ksp The solubility product constant indicating the maximum concentration of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at equilibrium. Reaction Quotient A ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at a specific point in time, used to predict the direction of a reaction. Precipitate A solid that forms in a solution when the reaction quotient exceeds the solubility product constant. Solution Saturation The amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, determining whether a solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated. Unsaturated Solution A solution where the reaction quotient is less than the solubility product constant, allowing more solute to dissolve. Saturated Solution A solution at equilibrium where the reaction quotient equals the solubility product constant, with no net change. Supersaturated Solution A solution where the reaction quotient is greater than the solubility product constant, leading to precipitate formation. Equilibrium A state where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate, with no net change in concentrations. Ionic Solid A compound composed of ions that can dissociate into its constituent ions in a solvent. Forward Direction The direction in which a reaction proceeds to form more products, often when the reaction quotient is less than the solubility product constant. Reverse Direction The direction in which a reaction proceeds to form more reactants, often when the reaction quotient is greater than the solubility product constant.
