Chemistry
Solubility product and common ion effect
In Class 11 Chemistry, this topic from the Equilibrium chapter explains how the solubility product (Ksp) describes the dissolution equilibrium of sparingly soluble salts. Students learn to write Ksp expressions, relate them to molar solubility, and use ion concentrations to predict whether precipitation will occur. The common ion effect shows how adding an ion already present in the equilibrium reduces solubility. The topic also develops understanding of selective precipitation and equilibrium-based calculations.
