  2. KNOCKHARDY PUBLISHING SOLUBILITY PRODUCTS INTRODUCTION This Powerpoint show is one of several produced to help students understand selected topics at AS and A2 level Chemistry. It is based on the requirements of the AQA and OCR specifications but is suitable for other examination boards. Individual students may use the material at home for revision purposes or it may be used for classroom teaching if an interactive white board is available. Accompanying notes on this, and the full range of AS and A2 topics, are available from the KNOCKHARDY SCIENCE WEBSITE at... www.knockhardy.org.uk/sci.htm Navigation is achieved by... either clicking on the grey arrows at the foot of each page or using the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard

  3. SOLUBILITY PRODUCTS • CONTENTS • Solubility of ionic compounds • Saturated solutions • Solubility products • Calculations • Common Ion Effect

  4. SOLUBILITY OF IONIC COMPOUNDS • ionic compounds tend to be insoluble in non-polar solvents • ionic compounds tend to be soluble in water • water is a polar solvent and stabilises the separated ions

  5. SOLUBILITY OF IONIC COMPOUNDS • ionic compounds tend to be insoluble in non-polar solvents • ionic compounds tend to be soluble in water • water is a polar solvent and stabilises the separated ions • some ionic compounds are very insoluble (AgCl, PbSO4, PbS) • even soluble ionic compounds have a limit as to how much dissolves

  6. SATURATED SOLUTIONS • solutions become saturated when solute no longer dissolves in a solvent • solubility varies with temperature • most solutes are more soluble at higher temperatures

  7. SATURATED SOLUTIONS • solutions become saturated when solute no longer dissolves in a solvent • solubility varies with temperature • most solutes are more soluble at higher temperatures Ionic crystal lattices can dissociate (break up) when placed in water. The ions separate as they are stabilised by polar water molecules.

  8. SATURATED SOLUTIONS • solutions become saturated when solute no longer dissolves in a solvent • solubility varies with temperature • most solutes are more soluble at higher temperatures Ionic crystal lattices can dissociate (break up) when placed in water. The ions separate as they are stabilised by polar water molecules. Eventually, no more solute dissolves and the solution becomes saturated. There is a limit to the concentration of ions in solution.

  36. THE COMMON ION EFFECT Adding a common ion, (one which is present in the solution), will result in the precipitation of a sparingly soluble ionic compound. eg Adding a solution of sodium chloride to a saturated solution of silver chloride will result in the precipitation of silver chloride.

  37. THE COMMON ION EFFECT Adding a common ion, (one which is present in the solution), will result in the precipitation of a sparingly soluble ionic compound. eg Adding a solution of sodium chloride to a saturated solution of silver chloride will result in the precipitation of silver chloride. Adding the ionic compound MA to a solution of MX increases the concentration of M+(aq). M+(aq) is a common ion as it is already in solution.

  38. THE COMMON ION EFFECT Adding a common ion, (one which is present in the solution), will result in the precipitation of a sparingly soluble ionic compound. eg Adding a solution of sodium chloride to a saturated solution of silver chloride will result in the precipitation of silver chloride. Adding the ionic compound MA to a solution of MX increases the concentration of M+(aq). M+(aq) is a common ion as it is already in solution. The extra M+ ions means that the solubility product is exceeded. To reduce the value of [M+(aq)][X-(aq)] below the Ksp, some ions are removed from solution by precipitating.

  40. THE COMMON ION EFFECT Adding a common ion, (one which is present in the solution), will result in the precipitation of a sparingly soluble ionic compound. eg Adding a solution of sodium chloride to a saturated solution of silver chloride will result in the precipitation of silver chloride.

The value can be exceeded by adding EITHER of the two soluble ions. If sodium chloride solution is added, the concentration of Cl¯(aq) will increase and precipitation will occur.
