Solubility equilibria and the solubility product

• Solubility equilibrium is unaffected by excess solid formed size of particles present
• Solubility is an equilibrium position where solubility product is an equilibrium constant salts have only one Ksp value at a given temperature
• Most salts — ionic solids — dissolve into water forming ion

  1. Forms a cation component and an anion component
• Solids are not written into the equilibrium expression
• A concentration of a salt in a saturated solution is know as its solubility
• A very small number indicting Bi2S3 is considered an insoluble salt
• Q > Ksp, the reaction shifts left to equilibrium.
