Chapter 17, Problem 31RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound that is more soluble in water is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The solubility product $\left({\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\right)$ value measures how a salt dissolvs in a solvent.

If the solubility product $\left({\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\right)$ value is large, it means the compound is highly soluble in the solvent, and if the solubility product $\left({\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\right)$ value is small, it means the compound is less soluble in the solvent.
