Chapter 15, Problem 66QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molarity of ${\text{Zn}}^{\text{2+}}$ in a saturated solution of ${\text{ZnCO}}_{\text{3}}$ having $0.25\text{M}{\text{Na}}_2{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Solubility product relates the solubility of a salt with the concentration of ions present in the salt.  Solubility product holds a direct relation with the solubility of the salt.  The solubility product is the ability of the solid to dissolve in aqueous solution.  The more the solubility product the more the solid dissolves in solution.  It is denoted as $K_{\text{sp}}$.  It is known as solubility product constant.
