**Writing the Solubility Product Formula (Ksp) for Slightly Soluble Salt Equilibria** Below are the reactions for slightly soluble salts and their dissociation in aqueous solutions. The aim is to express their solubility product constants (Ksp). a. **Calcium Sulfide (CaS) Dissociation:** \[ \text{CaS (s)} \leftrightarrow \text{Ca}^{2+} \text{(aq)} + \text{S}^{2-} \text{(aq)} \] b. **Barium Sulfate (BaSO₄) Dissociation:** \[ \text{BaSO}_4 \text{ (s) } \leftrightarrow \text{Ba}^{2+} \text{(aq)} + \text{SO}_4^{2-} \text{(aq)} \] c. **Calcium Phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂) Dissociation:** \[ \text{Ca}_{3}(\text{PO}_{4})_{2} \text{ (s) } \leftrightarrow 3\text{Ca}^{2+} \text{(aq)} + 2\text{PO}_4^{3-} \text{(aq)} \] **Explanation of Diagrams:** 1. **Chemical Equilibrium Arrows:** - Double arrows (\( \leftrightarrow \)) indicate that the salt is in dynamic equilibrium with its ions in aqueous solution. 2. **States of Matter:** - (s) denotes solid. - (aq) denotes that the species are in an aqueous solution. Understanding the Ksp for these reactions helps to predict the solubility of each salt under varying conditions in a solution.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
