Solubility Equilibrium and Solubility Product

Last Updated on July 3, 2023 By Mrs Shilpi Nagpal

If a sparingly soluble salt like AgCl is stirred with water ,only a small amount of it goes into solution while most of the salt remain undissolved. But little amount of salt dissolves, it gets completely dissociated into ions.

when a sparingly soluble salt is added to water ,there exist a dynamic equilibrium between the undissolved solid salt and the ions which is furnitures in solution.

At equilibrium ,the solid AgCl continues to dissolve at the same rate at which the opposite process of precipitation take place.

AgCl (s) sign of equilibrium reactionAg+ (aq) + Cl‾ (aq)

Ksp = [Ag+][Cl‾ ]

where Ksp is the solubility product and is equal to ionic product ionic product of silver chloridefor a saturated solution.

BaSO4 (s ) sign of equilibrium reaction Ba2+ + SO42‾

solubility product of barium sulphate

AgSCN (aq) sign of equilibrium reactionAg+ (aq)+ SCN‾ (aq)

solubility product of AgSCN

For an electrolyte MyXz the equilibrium may be written as:

MyXz sign of equilibrium reaction  yMz+ +  zXy-(aq)

solubility product for may be written as:

solubility product of general reaction

where  y and z represents the number of ions in the formula of the electrolyte.

Solubility product of an electrolyte at a specified temperature may be defined as the product of the molar concentration of its ions in a saturated solution, each concentration raised to the power equal to the number of ions produced on dissociation of one molecule of the electrolyte.

Determination of Solubility Product

The solubility product of a sparingly soluble salt at a particular temperature can be calculated from a knowledge of the solubility of the salt in water at that particular temperature.
