If the solubility of lithium sodium hexafluoroaluminate $\mathrm{Li}_{3} \mathrm{Na}_{3}\left(\mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{F}_{6}\right)_{2}$ is "a" mol/litre, its solubility product is equal to(1) $\mathrm{a}^{2}$
(2) $12 a^{2}$
(3) $18 a^{3}$
(4) $2916 \mathrm{a}^{8}$

Key Concepts

Molar Solubility

Molar solubility, often represented by 'a' in problems, is a measure of the number of moles of a solute that can dissolve in one liter of solution to reach saturation. It is directly used in calculating the concentrations of ions in the solubility equilibrium and, in turn, in setting up the expression for the solubility product (K_sp).

Dissolution Stoichiometry

Dissolution stoichiometry refers to the quantitative relationship between the moles of a solute that dissolves and the moles of the ions it produces, as described by the balanced chemical equation. This concept is crucial for relating the molar solubility of the salt to the concentrations of the individual ions in the solution.

Solubility Equilibrium

This concept involves the dynamic equilibrium between a solid and its ions in a saturated solution. At solubility equilibrium, the rate of dissolution of a compound is equal to the rate of its precipitation, meaning the concentrations of dissociated ions remain constant.

Solubility Product Constant (K_sp)

The solubility product constant, often abbreviated as K_sp, is an equilibrium constant that applies to the dissolution of sparingly soluble ionic compounds. It is calculated as the product of the molar concentrations of the dissolved ions, each raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient from the balanced equation for the dissolution process.
