Question

Learning Goal:

To understand the relationship between precipitation and the solubility product and to be able to predict whether a substance will precipitate or not.
Precipitation is the formation of an insoluble substance. For the equation AB(s)⇌A+(aq)+B−(aq)AB(s)⇌A+(aq)+B−(aq), precipitation represents a shift to the left and the production of a solid. From Le Châtelier's principle, we know that when the product of the concentrations of A+A+ and B−B− ions gets above a certain level, the reaction will respond by shifting left to decrease the concentrations of A+A+ and B−B− ions. This critical level, KspKsp Q=[A+][B−]Q=[A+][B−]. where QQ is the ion product.

When Q>KspQ>Ksp, precipitation occurs until QQ is equal to KspKsp

When Q≤KspQ≤Ksp, a precipitate does not form.
