Chapter 15, Problem 101E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ for ${\text{CaCrO}}_4$ is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction: For any equilibrium expression, the chemical equation that represents the dissolving of an ionic compound is termed as solubility- product constant $\left(K_{\text{sp}}\right)$.

The $K_{\text{sp}}$ is used to measure the solubility of the compound.

A large value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ indicates that compound is very soluble. On the other hand, a small value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ indicates that compound is not very soluble.

The unit of molar solubility $\left(s\right)$ is moles per liter $\left(\text{mol}/\text{L}\right)$.
