Molar Solubility Formula:
From: | To: |
The Ksp to molar solubility calculation determines the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solution at equilibrium. Ksp (solubility product constant) represents the equilibrium between a solid and its ions in solution.
The calculator uses the molar solubility formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the molar solubility of a compound based on its solubility product constant and the stoichiometry of its dissociation.
Details: Molar solubility calculations are essential for predicting precipitation reactions, understanding solubility behavior, and designing chemical processes in various industries including pharmaceuticals and environmental science.
Tips: Enter Ksp value (dimensionless), coefficient (product of coefficients from dissociation equation), and n value (sum of exponents). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is Ksp and how is it determined?
A: Ksp is the solubility product constant, experimentally determined by measuring ion concentrations in a saturated solution at equilibrium.
Q2: How do I find the coefficient and n values?
A: These values come from the balanced dissociation equation. For example, for CaF₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2F⁻, coefficient = 1×2² = 4, n = 1+2 = 3.
Q3: What units are used for molar solubility?
A: Molar solubility is expressed in moles per liter (mol/L).
Q4: Can this calculator handle complex dissociation equations?
A: Yes, as long as you correctly determine the coefficient and n values from the balanced equation.
Q5: What factors affect molar solubility?
A: Temperature, pH, common ion effect, and ionic strength can all affect the molar solubility of a compound.
