Chapter 16, Problem 16.123QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The comparison of molar solubility between calcium sulphate and silver sulphate has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

• The solubility product constant (${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}$) is defined as the equilibrium between compound and its ions in an aqueous solution.
• Solubility product is the multiplication of concentration of dissolved ion,  raised to the power of coefficients.
• Molar solubility is defined as amount of solute that can be dissolved in one litre of solution before it attains saturation.

To calculate: The molar solubility of ${\text{CaSO}}_{\text{4}}$ and ${\text{Ag}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$
