  • Selective Precipitation

    A method to separate ions by forming a solid with a reagent that binds to specific ions.
  • Reagent

    An ion that binds to dissolved ions to form a precipitate in a solution.
  • Precipitate

    A solid formed from a solution during a chemical reaction.
  • Solubility Product Constant

    A constant (Ksp) that indicates the solubility of a salt in a solution.
  • Reaction Quotient

    A value (Q) that determines the direction of a reaction relative to equilibrium.
  • Equilibrium

    A state where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.
  • Ionic Solid

    A compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces.
  • Mixture

    A combination of different ions or substances in a solution.
  • Chemical Reaction

    A process that involves the rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure.
  • Solid

    A state of matter characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes in shape.
