The product of the concentrations of each ion in a saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt at 298 K, raised to the power of their relative concentrations is:

Correct answer: A. Ksp

  • A. Ksp
  • B. Ka
  • C. Kw
  • D. Kb

Explanation

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.

About Chemical Equilibrium

Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
