Hello everyone today. We're being asked to write the balanced equation. And the KsB expression when nickel chloride dissolves in water. So the first thing we want to do is write out nickel chloride. So in I. C. L two in a solid form and we're gonna draw a reaction arrow and then we're gonna say that this reaction is going to result in one nickel two Plus ion in the acquis form Plus two chloride ions also in the acquis form. So that's our that's our balanced equation. And for our K. S. P we're going to simply write K. S. P. And then it's going to follow the products over our reactant as such, plugging our products in. We have an I. Two plus or nickel. We're gonna multiply that by chloride and our coefficient is going to become our exponent. Another thing to note with KsB expressions that we don't include solids or liquids, so therefore this is our balanced equation and this is our K sp expression. I hope this helped. And until next time.
