The solubility product constant, Ksp, is the equilibrium constant for a solid substance dissolving in an aqueous solution. It represents the level at which a solute dissolves in solution. The more soluble a substance is, the higher the Ksp value it has.

What does the KSP tell you?
Ksp (Solubility product constant) is the equilibrium between a solid and its respective ions in a solution. The value of the constant identifies the degree of which the compound can dissociate in water. For example the higher the Ksp the more soluble the compound is.
What is KSP equation?
In general, MaXb(s) <=> aM+b(aq) + bX-a(aq) is expressed as Ksp = [M+b]a[X−a]b. These expressions are called solubility product constant expressions because they involve the product of the equilibrium concentrations of the constituent ions, each raised to the power corresponding to the number of ions in the formula.
How does KSP determine solubility?
The solubility product constant (Ksp) describes the equilibrium between a solid and its constituent ions in a solution. The value of the constant identifies the degree to which the compound can dissociate in water. The higher the Ksp, the more soluble the compound is.
What is KSP and how do you find it?
Kc = [My+]x[Ax-]y. Since the equilibrium constant refers to the product of the concentration of the ions that are present in a saturated solution of an ionic compound, it is given the name solubility product constant, and given the symbol Ksp.
