Notes on Solubility and Ksp
Notes on Solubility and Ksp
Solubility Concept
Refers to the maximum amount of a substance that dissolves in a solvent at a given temperature.
Ksp: Solubility-Product Constant
Introduced by Walther Nernst in 1899.
Relevant for solid substances considered insoluble in water.
Key aspects:
Some solid dissolves, although minimally.
Dissociation occurs upon dissolving.
Equilibrium exists between undissolved solid and solvated ions.
Dissociation Example
Silver chloride ( AgCl(s)
Equilibrium expression: K_c = \frac{[Ag^+][Cl^-]}{[AgCl]}
