Question

How is Ksp related to molarity?

Answer 1

`K_(sp)` is related to molarity as follows:

For a saturated solution where an ionic solid such as silver chloride is in equilibria with its aqueous ions we can write:

`AgCl_((s))rightleftharpoonsAg_((aq))^(+)+Cl_((aq))^(-)`

For which `K_(sp)=[Ag_((aq))^+][Cl_((aq))^-]`

This relationship is temperature dependent.
