### Constructing the Solubility Product Expression (Ksp) for ZnS

**Overview:**
To determine the solubility product constant (\(K_{sp}\)) for solid \(ZnS\) in an aqueous solution, we examine its dissociation into ions.

**Dissolution Reaction:**
\[ ZnS(s) \rightleftharpoons Zn^{2+}(aq) + S^{2-}(aq) \]

**Objective:**
Construct the expression for the solubility constant, \(K_{sp}\), using the tiles provided. Each tile represents a participant in the reaction.

**Equilibrium Expression:**
The general form of the \(K_{sp}\) expression is:

\[ K_{sp} = [Zn^{2+}] \times [S^{2-}] \]

**Interactive Components:**
- Use the available tiles to fill in the correct ionic concentrations:
  - [ZnS]
  - 2[ZnS]
  - [Zn^+]
  - 2[Zn^+]
  - [Zn^2+]
  - 2[Zn^2+]
  - [Zn^2+]^2
  - [S^-]
  - 2[S^-]
  - [S^2-]
  - 2[S^2-]
  - [S^2-]^2
  
**Instructions:**
Drag and drop the appropriate tiles to complete the \(K_{sp}\) expression box.
