Document Summary
Dissolution of a sparingly soluble ionic compounds is an equilibrium process and extent of dissolution can be quantified by an equilibrium constant (the solubility-product constant ksp) Mathematical relationship between compound"s molar solubility (s) and its ksp depends on compound"s dissociation stoichiometry. If ksp is known, ice table can be used to determine molar solubility of a compound in water. Solubility of sparingly soluble compound will be decreased if solution already contains a common ion. When ionic compound is added to a solution that already contains the cation / anion of ionic compound, compound will dissociate less and be less soluble. Compare solubility of caf2 in water vs. caf2 in 1. 0 m naf (aq) (cid:1544) Because naf contains common ion to caf2 (cid:1543) caf2 does not dissociate as much and solubility is lower. Le chatelier: presence of f from naf disrupts the solubility of caf2. Solubility equilibrium does not go as much to the right as it does in pure water.
