Which of the following will apply to a saturated solution of an ionic compound? A)Q_c < K_sp B)Q_c > K_sp C)Q_c = K_sp D)K_sp = 1 E)Q_c = 1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A saturated solution is one in which no more solute can dissolve in the solvent. This means that the concentration of the solute in the solution (Q_c) is at its maximum, and is equal to the solubility product constant (K_sp). Therefore, the correct choice is C, where the concentration of the solute in the solution is equal to the solubility product constant.
