Solubility product

The dissolution and precipitation of a sparingly soluble ionic compound is governed by an equilibrium constant of its own -- the solubility product -- developed in the subsections below.

Note

Do you know?

Dissolution and precipitation of sparingly soluble ionic compounds matter in our everyday life, industry and medicine. A kidney stone develops when insoluble calcium oxalate, $\mathrm{CaC_2O_4}$ , precipitates. Tooth decay occurs when enamel -- c …
