Solubility Equilibria

The solubility product is the equilibrium constant representing the maximum amount of solid that can be dissolved in aqueous solution.

Molar solubility is the number of moles of a solute that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated.

A set of rules can be used to predict whether a combination of cations and anions in solution will recombine and precipitate.

By changing the pH of the solution, you can change the charge state of the solute.

Fractional precipitation can be used to determine which ions are present in a solution by taking advantage of their different solubilities.

Adding a common ion decreases the solubility of a solute, causing it to precipitate.
