The solubility product constant, Ksp, represents the equilibrium concentrations of ions from a sparingly soluble salt, each raised to its stoichiometric power. Problems involve writing Ksp expressions, calculating molar solubility, applying the common-ion effect and predicting precipitation from the ionic product.

  • A. Increases with increase in temperature
  • B. Decreases with increase in temperature
  • C. Solubility does not change
  • D. In some cases it increases while in others it decreases

Explanation: In exothermic reactions, heat energy is released when the solute dissolves in a solution.

Correct answer: Decreases with increase in temperature
  • A. 10-10
  • B. 10-20
  • C. 10-5
  • D. 10-6

Explanation: The solubility product constant (Ksp) for BaSO4 at 25°C is given as 1 x 10-10.

Correct answer: 10-5
  • A. Solution will be saturated
  • B. Precipitation will occur
  • C. Solution will be super saturated
  • D. No precipitation will occur

Explanation: Option D is correct. The ionic product is less than the solubility product, meaning the solution contains fewer ions than it could have at…

Correct answer: No precipitation will occur
