Step 1. For a sparingly soluble salt XmYn(s)⇌mXn+(aq)+nYm−(aq)X_mY_n(s) \rightleftharpoons mX^{n+}(aq)+nY^{m-}(aq), once the solid's own (constant) concentration is absorbed into the equilibrium constant, Ksp=[Xn+]m[Ym−]nK_{sp}=[X^{n+}]^m[Y^{m-}]^n.

Step 2. So the solubility product is defined as the product of the molar concentrations of the constituent ions, each raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced equilibrium equation, at a fixed temperature. …
