Solubility Flashcards
What does smaller ksp mean
Favours reactants, less soluble
Lager ksp means?
More soluble, favours products
The solubility can be compare only when:
Salts have the same cation to anion ratio
Ph effect on solubility: what happens if you decrease ph in mg(oh)2
Oh decrease and equilibrium shifts to the right. So more products, more soluble
If Q<Ksp solution is
Unsaturated (can add more to solution)
What is the solution if Q = Ksp
Saturated
What is the solution if Q> Ksp
Precipitation will occur
What is supersaturation?
Adding too much salt to water and crystals are left at the bottom. If add a crystal to the solution, solution solidifies to crystal structure
What to do for predicting precipitation questions
Find the final concentrations of the end product in question, then find q and check if greater than K
What to do for common ion solubility
Add up the concentrations of the common ion (0.1 M br2 turns into 0.2) then find x for the ice table.
Through x, find the concentration of the solid and then divide by litres to find mols
