Associated with any ionic compound is the solubility product constant, which measures how soluble the compound will be in a solvent.
Understanding the Solubility Product Constant
The general rule is that the greater the solubility product constant for a compound then the more soluble the compound.
Consider the following compounds
The solubility of silver sulfate, Ag2SO4, is 0.025 M at 25oC
Whenever the question refers to the solubility then that value represents our “x” variable.
Find the solubility of CoCl3 (Ksp = 2.8 x 10-13) in
Whenever we deal with the solubility product constant we use an ICE Chart and since the reactant will always be a solid then we can ignore it.
If our compound dissolves in a solution with similar ions then the Common Ion Effect takes place.
