Solubility Product Constant Lab
Introduction: When a salt of low solubility is added to water, only a few ions are formed, and most of the salt remains undissolved. In a saturated solution, the solid dissociates into ions at the same rate that the ions reunite to form the solid. In other words, a dynamic equilibrium exists between the undissolved solid and the ions in solution. An undetermined amount of dissolved salt exists in equilibrium with the solid. The concentration
