🔎 Melting Product – Definition and Explanations

an introduction

The dissolution product It is the equilibrium constant corresponding to the dissociation of a solid in a solvent.

identification

Consider for example the dissociation of an ionic solid of formula X_αs_β

The dissolution is described by the following reaction:

Employment law use Mass (The term mass is used to designate two quantities connected to one…) We get the formula:

• to me_x : Activity (The term activity can refer to a profession.) From’Ocean (In the life sciences, species (from the Latin species, ‘kind’…) x

Being an ionic compound as a pure solid, its activity is equal to 1. The activities of ions in an aqueous medium are assimilated to their concentrations in moles by Liter (The liter (from Greek λίτρα lítra, an ancient measure of capacity…) (mol/L).

The dissolution product (The product of solubility is the equilibrium constant corresponding to solubility…) he is :

Melt product illustration:
If the product concentrations ( [X⁺].[Y^–] ) of the ions constituting the ionic compound remains less than K_sThe ionic compound dissociates completely.
If the product [X⁺].[Y^–] The solution is reached saturated andaddition (Addition is an elementary operation that allows in particular to describe …) of ionic compounds resulting in a precipitate (In chemistry and mineralogy, a precipitate is a phase formation…). Additional addition of compound XY does not modify the concentration of the ions but increases the concentration amount (quantity is a general term for measurement (compute, amount); numerical, …) from the precipitate.

The relationship between solubility product and solubility

be careful The relationships and methods of calculation provided for in this paragraph apply only in the event of termination for a single ionic compound : If other elements already exist or have been added, they must be taken into account.

Let it be soluble in copper bromide. Dissolving a mole per liter of CuBr gives one mole per liter of Cu⁺ and s mol per liter of Br^–. we can describe Situation (In geography, position is a spatial concept that allows for the relative location of…) in the following way:

chemical species	CuBr	copper+	Br–

The solubility product of copper bromide is written:

CAUTION: If the equilibrium constant is dimensionless, it must be strictly balanced by multiplying or dividing as necessary by the scalar concentration against⁰ = 1MOhI.The ^-1 This is it :

In general we neglect this term in C° to retain the first write, even if the dimensional equation is wrong.

So

The molar mass of copper bromide is

Let’s melt silver carbonate. Mole dissolution of AgCO₃ It gives 2s mole of Ag⁺ and s is a mole of carbon monoxide₃^–. The situation can be described as follows:

chemical species	AG2co3	AG+	co32-

Consider the dissolution of an ionic compound of general formula X_αs_β

Let’s melt X_αs_β. Mol X dissolution_αs_β It gives the α mole of X_α and β mole of Y_β…the situation can be described as follows:
