The solubility product is only applicable for those substance which are :
Correct answer: B. Sparingly soluble (conc. ≤ 0.01M)
- A. Highly soluble (conc. > 0.1M)
- B. Sparingly soluble (conc. ≤ 0.01M)
- C. Saturated
- D. Unsaturated
Explanation
The concept of the solubility product constant (Ksp ) is specifically used to describe the equilibrium of sparingly soluble or nearly insoluble ionic compounds. For highly soluble salts, the ion concentrations are too high for the simple Ksp equilibrium to hold true.

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.
