How is Ksp related to molarity?

#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.
