where the equilibrium constant, Ksp, is called the solubility product. There is never any denominator in Ksp expressions because pure solids are not included in any equilibrium expressions.

Solubility Products

· Ksp is not the same as solubility. · Solubility is generally expressed as the mass of solute dissolved in 1 L (g/L) or 100 mL (g/mL) of solution, or in mol/L (M).

The term "solubility" represents the maximum amount

• f solute that can be dissolved in a certain volume

before any precipitate is observed. The solubility of a substance can be given in terms of grams per liter g/L

• r in terms of

moles per liter mol/L The latter is sometimes referred to as "molar solubility."
