AP CHEMISTRYKsp & Precipitation
Explore the solubility product constant (Ksp) that describes the equilibrium between a solid ionic compound and its dissolved ions. Calculate ion concentrations, predict precipitation using the reaction quotient Q (if Q > Ksp, precipitation occurs), and understand the common ion effect that decreases solubility. Practice solving Ksp problems for various stoichiometries and applying Le Chatelier's principle to solubility equilibria.
