What is the solubility product constant (Ksp) used for?
To measure the total mass of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent
To determine the concentration of a solute in a saturated solution
To calculate the solubility of a solute in a given solvent
To compare the solubilities of different solutes in the same solvent
Explicació
The solubility product constant (Ksp) is a constant specific to a given solute and solvent at a particular temperature. It is used to calculate the concentration of a solute in a saturated solution, where no more solute can dissolve at equilibrium.
