Solubility Product Constant: Ksp definitions Flashcards

A type of equilibrium constant measuring the solubility of ionic compounds in a solvent.

A state where the rate of dissolution and precipitation of a solute are equal.

Compounds composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding.

The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent, expressed in moles per liter.

A tool used to calculate changes in concentrations of species in equilibrium reactions.

A value expressing the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at equilibrium.

The ions in solution resulting from the dissolution of an ionic solid.

The initial substances in a chemical reaction, often ignored in Ksp calculations if solid.

Numbers in a balanced equation indicating the ratio of moles of each substance.

The amount of a substance per defined space, often expressed in moles per liter.

Substances with definite shape and volume, excluded from Ksp equilibrium expressions.

Substances with definite volume but no fixed shape, excluded from Ksp equilibrium expressions.

Charged particles formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, crucial in Ksp calculations.

Electrical properties of ions, determining their interactions and solubility.

An equation with equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides, used in Ksp calculations.
