The product of the concentrations of each ion in a saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt, raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients, is the:
- A
Ksp
- B
Ka
- C
Kb
- D
Kw
This is the definition of the solubility product constant (Ksp ). It represents the equilibrium constant for the dissolution of a sparingly soluble ionic compound into its constituent ions in a saturated solution.
Solubility product, Ksp, is the mathematical product of the dissolved ions concentration raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.
An acid dissociation constant (Ka ) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution
Kb is the base dissociation constant. The base dissociation constant is a measure of how completely a base dissociates into its component ions in water.
The equilibrium constant, Kw, is called the dissociation constant or ionization constant of water.
