Key Concepts

Solubility Product (Ksp)

The solubility product constant is an equilibrium constant that quantifies the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt in water. It is defined for a solid salt dissolving into its constituent ions, where the product of the ion concentrations, each raised to the power corresponding to their stoichiometric coefficients, equals the Ksp value. The lower the Ksp, the less soluble the salt is in water.

Common Ion Effect

The common ion effect refers to the decrease in solubility of a salt when a solution already contains one of its constituent ions. This phenomenon is explained by Le Chatelier’s principle, which shows that adding a common ion shifts the dissolution equilibrium to favor the formation of the undissolved salt, thereby reducing its molar solubility.

Molar Solubility

Molar solubility is the measure of the amount of a substance that can dissolve in a given volume of solution to reach equilibrium. It is typically expressed in moles per liter (M). When calculating molar solubility in the presence of a common ion, the initial concentration of that ion must be considered, as it influences the equilibrium concentration of the ions derived from the sparingly soluble salt.
