SOLUBILITY PRODUCT: Formula, Principles and Applications of Solubility Product

SOLUBILITY PRODUCT: FORMULA, PRINCIPLES, AND APPLICATIONS OF SOLUBILITY PRODUCT What is the Solubility Product? When a less soluble solute is added to a solvent, an equilibrium is established between the undissolved solute (solid phase) and its solute part which completely dissociates into the ion.  AB(Solid)     ⇌   AB (Soluble part)     ⟶      A +  +  B - The product of the ionic concentration of the ions present in the saturated solution of an electrolyte at a given specific temperature is called solubility product or Ksp of a solution. For more info, you can visit this site ChemED Formula for Solubility Product Here,     Ksp = Solubility Product Constant     A+ = cation in the solution     B- = anion in the solution     a,b = relative concentratin Principles of Solubility Product If ionic product < solubility product: the solution remains unsaturated. If ionic product = solubility product: the solution remains saturated. If ionic product > solubility product: the precipi
