Ksp and the Common Ion Effect. April 23 2010. Ksp Defined. K sp deals with solubility (how much solute can be dissolved.) It is a version of K eq (just like K w , K a , and K b ) It says that the product (“multiplied) of all the ion concentrations in a saturated solution is a constant.

Ksp and the Common Ion Effect April 23 2010
Ksp Defined • Ksp deals with solubility (how much solute can be dissolved.) • It is a version of Keq (just like Kw, Ka, and Kb) • It says that the product (“multiplied) of all the ion concentrations in a saturated solution is a constant.
Example of a Saturated Solution Add a HUGE amount of NaC into a beaker of water NaCl Most will dissolve Na+ Cl- Some will remain undissolved at the bottom NaCl
The saturation can change If more water is added… Some of the undissolved NaCl will now go into solution as ions Na+ Cl- Na+ Cl- NaCl NaCl
The saturation can change If some water evaporates… Some of the dissolved ions will now precipitate Na+ Cl- Na+ Cl- NaCl NaCl
Shown by formula: • NaCl(s) Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) • The solution is in equilibrium so… • Keq = [Na+] [Cl-] • Note NaCl(s) is left out (it is a solid)
Ksp Defined (formal) • Ksp is the Keq for a saturated solution • The solution must be saturated so a two way reaction (solid dissolved as well as dissolved solid) can happen • It is the product of all the dissolved ion concentrations • It measures the amount of material that can be dissolved
Ksp for any salt… • AmBn(s) <==> m A+ (aq) + n B-(aq) The equilibrium constant for such a salt would be: • Ksp = [A+] m [B-]n
Ksp examples • Ksp for MgSO4= [Mg2+][SO42-] • Ksp for C6H12O6 = [C6H12O6] • (note: NOT ionic) • Ksp for CaCl2 = [Ca2+][Cl1-][Cl1-] • or [Ca2+][Cl1-]2 • Ksp for Al2O3 = [Al3+] [Al3+][O2-] [O2-] [O2-] • or [Al3+]2 [O2-]3
Common Ion Effect • With solutions that are saturated, addition of either ion, from another compound, will shift the equilibrium NaCl + Na+ Cl- KCl To a saturated NaCl solution, add KCl Cl- concentration goes up Equilibrium shifts left Some NaCl will precipitate Cl- Na+ Na+ concentration goes down NaCl
Common Ion Effect • When a compound is added to a solution, and that compound contains an ion in common with the solution; other ions in solution may be affected
