Document Summary

We have discussed the chemical equilibrium of compounds that are soluble in water. In this section, we will examine the equilibrium of insoluble ionic compounds. Most compounds dissolve in water to a certain extent. Many compounds are so slightly soluble that we call them insoluble compounds . Ionic compounds that are classified as insoluble dissociate very slightly. For such compounds, equilibrium is reached when no more solid can be dissolved. This equilibrium is described in the following chemical equation: For the reversible reaction illustrated above, one can express the concentrations at equilibrium in term of the equilibrium constant. This constant is called the solubility product constant, ksp : The numerical value of ksp changes with -------------- Write the ksp expression for each of the following compounds: The molar solubility of a compound is the number of moles of the compound that dissolve in one liter of water at 25 c.
