The solubility product of a compound is numerically equal to the product of the concentration of the ions involved in the equilibrium,each raised by its coefficient in the equilibrium reaction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true and represents the solubility product constant expression, Ksp, for a compound in solution. For example, the Ksp expression for the dissociation of the ionic compound silver chloride (AgCl) in aqueous solution is Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-], where the concentration of silver ions and chloride ions are each raised to the power of 1 (their coefficients in the dissociation reaction).
