Solubility
• The solubility of a substance is the amount of that substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent. “Solubility” may be considered to be an equilibrium; the equilibrium is between solid and ions in solution. Any ionic solid is 100% ionized in aqueous solution; once it actually dissolves.
NaCl(s)
Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Factors that affect solubility
• Temperature– Solubility generally increases with temperature.
• Common ion effect– Common ions reduce solubility
• pH of solution– pH affects the solubility of ionic compounds.
• Formation of complex ion– The formation of complex ion increases solubility
Solubility product
In general, solubility product, Ksp, is the mathematical product of its dissolved ion concentrations raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients. This statement is called the solubility product principle

Solubility product
Solubility product constant (Ksp)
Most salts dissociate into ions when they dissolve. For example:
BaSO4(s) ⇌ Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
This equilibrium system may be described by the mass-action expression
Ksp = [Ba2+][SO42-]
BaSO4(s) ⇌ Ba2+(aq)+ SO4
2-(aq)
• The Ba2+ concentration and the SO42– concentration
are equal since for each BaSO4 unit that dissolves one Ba2+ and one SO4
2– ion form.
Solubility = s = [Ba2+] = [SO42–]
From the above equation we know that
Ksp = [Ba2+] [SO42–]
Ksp = s × s = s2
Ksp = [Ba2+] [SO42-]

Problems on solubility product
• Calculate the Ksp value of BaSO4 which has a solubility of 3.9×10 5‒ mol/L at 25°C.
BaSO4(s) ⇌ Ba2+(aq)+ SO4
2-(aq)
Ksp = [Ba2+] [SO42–]
Ksp = s × s = s2
= 3.9×10 5 ‒ × 3.9×10 5 ‒
= 1.52×10 9‒
Solubility and Solubility Products
(1) What is the solubility of AgCl if the Ksp is 1.6 x 10-10
AgCl(s) ⇌ Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-]
If s is the solubility of AgCl, then:
[Ag+] = s and [Cl-] = s Ksp = (s)(s) = s2 = 1.6 x 10-10
s =
s = 1.3 x 10-5 mol/L

• What is the solubility of CuS if the Ksp is 1.27× 10–45.
CuS ⇌ Cu2+ + S2–
Ksp = [Cu2+] [S2–]

Solubility and Solubility Products
What is the solubility of Mg(OH)2 if the Ksp is 1.6 x 10-10
Mg(OH)2(s) ⇌ Mg2+(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)
Ksp = [Mg2+][OH-]2 = 8.9 x 10-12
If the solubility of Mg(OH)2 is s mol/L, then:
[Mg2+] = s mol/L and [OH-] = 2s mol/L,
Ksp = (s)(2s)2 = 4s3 = 8.9 x 10-12
s = 1.3 x 10-4 mol/L
Different types of solution
Unsaturated solution: More solute can be dissolved in it.
Saturated solution: No more solute can be dissolved in it. Any more of solute you add will not dissolve. It will precipitate out.
Super saturated solution: Has more solute than can be dissolved in it. The solute precipitates out.
