Interpretation:
The phenomenon taking place in the given figure is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a fixed amount of solvent is known as the solubility of the solute in that particular solvent. The product of the constituent ionic concentrations of the solute in the solvent is called solubility product. It has a fixed value at equilibrium.
Answer to Problem 67A
In the given figure, a solid is getting dissolved in a liquid. The solubility of the solute in the solution is increasing and the dissolution will stop when it will become equal to the solubility product at equilibrium.
Explanation of Solution
Since the solid is getting dissolved the concentration of solute ions is increasing in the solvent which increases the solubility product of the solute. When the solution attains equilibrium, the solubility becomes equal to Ksp and the reaction comes to a halt.
The phenomenon in the figure has been explained to be the dissolution of solid in a liquid.
