Chapter 15, Problem 30E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The expression of solubility product constant of $A_{2}B\left(s\right)$ is to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Solubility product is the equilibrium constant for a substance which is dissolved in an aqueous solution.

The solubility product of a given compound is equal to the product of concentration of their ions.

Solubility product is represented by the symbol “$K_{\text{sp}}$”.

The expression of solubility product is similar to equilibrium expression.

The expression for $K_{\text{sp}}$ is written by multiplying the concentrations of the ions each raised to the power of its coefficient present in the equilibrium equation.
