Solubility product experiment (1 Viewer)

[erucibon]

Describe briefly an experiment that you could perform in the laboratory to measure the solubility product of a sparingly soluble salt in water.

I haven't done any pracs for year 12 yet so I have no idea what experiments could be performed. Also, if this type of question is asked in an exam, do you refer to a specific salt or do you answer it generally?

Thanks

Yes always be specific (because it allows you to write things like chemical equations).

Easy way to design practicals on the spot even if you forget is think about to the definition of the concept and what you are trying to test

Sparingly soluble salt in water, means you can add some of it before it becomes insoluble, so your investigation is going to deal with how much can you actually add before it becomes insoluble and then you can use that to do calculations
