Chapter 15, Problem 93CWP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The $K_{\text{sp}}$ value of ${\text{Ca}}_{\text{3}}{\left({\text{PO}}_{\text{4}}\right)}_{\text{2}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Solubility product is defined as the mathematical product of the dissolved ion concentration of a substance raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficients. When sparingly soluble ionic compound releases ions in the solution, it gives relevant solubility product. The solvent is generally water. Precipitate formation takes place in solution if ionic product is greater than the solubility product.
