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 does KSP 1 mean?
Solubility product constant is simplified equilibrium constant (Ksp) defined for equilibrium between a solids and its respective ions in a solution. Its value indicates the degree to which a compound dissociates in water. The higher the solubility product constant, the more soluble the compound.
What KSP is least soluble?
Ksp = [Ag+][X−] (of course [AgX(s)] does not appear in this equilibrium expression in that we cannot speak of the concentration of a solid. From the list, it is clear that AgI is the least soluble species. Ksp are extensively tabulated, especially for salts of precious metals.
How do you compare values in KSP?
The relative MOLAR solubility of salts (saturated solution) can be determined by comparing Ksp values. The greater the Ksp the more ions are in solution, hence the greater the molar solubility. However, you can only directly compare salts that give equivalent numbers of ions in solution.
What does a lower KSP value mean?
The larger the negative exponent the less soluble the compound is in solution. The larger the real value of the Ksp the more soluble the compound is in solution 2.5 x 10−3 > 2.5 x 10−6. Aug 18, 2016. Ksp refers to the solubility product .
