Chapter 17, Problem 17.59QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given diagram, the solution which is best for precipitation has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

• Precipitation is the formation of solid in a chemical solution when the number of moles of a compound increases than its solubility.
• The solubility product constant ( ${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}$) is defined as the equilibrium between compound and its ions in an aqueous solution.
• Solubility product is the multiplication of concentration of dissolved ion,  raised to the power of coefficients.
• Ionic compound ${\text{A}}_{\text{3}}\text{B}$ ${\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\text{=}{\left[\text{A}\right]}^{\text{3}}\left[\text{B}\right]$
