Objectives: After completing this unit, students should be able to:
- Distinguish between solubility and solubility product constant.
- Write the dissociation equation and the Ksp expression for a salt given its name or chemical formula.
- Calculate the Ksp given the solubility of a partially soluble salt or the solubility given Ksp.
- Explain, using equations, the effect of a common ion on the solubility of a salt.
- Calculate the solubility of a salt in the presence of a common ion.
- Write the equations for the reaction that occurs to increase the solubility when an acid is added to a salt then predict whether its solubility depends on pH and calculate the molar solubility of a salt at a given pH.
- Predict whether a precipitate will form when two solutions of known concentration of ions are mixed.
- Predict when ions are added to a solution containing a mixture of several ions, the minimum concentration of the added ion that will cause precipitation and what salt will precipitate.
