I have watched HOURS of Khan Academy and Bozeman science and Organic chemistry tutor RU-vid videos explaining Ksp and IOn product and none of it made sense to me whatsoever. BUT IN JUST 12 MINUTES you made it all make sense!!!! I"M SO GRATEFUL!!! I finally understand!
Oh my god thank you so much. I've been trying to figure out why ionic product and Ksp have the same formula but gave different results. This clears all doubts thank you again.
Hi Jiaxuan, Ksp is used when the solution is saturated, so it represents the maximum amount of ions we can dissolve in the solution. Ionic product on the other hand measures the actual amount of ions in solution. So a comparison of IP (actual amount of ions in solution) and Ksp (max amount of ions in solution) allows us to deduce if the solution is diluted, saturated or super saturated.
Thank you so much . I searched the internet and couldn't find a proper explanation for Ksp and IP then I saw you video ! Till now I had thought IP refers only to ionic product of water . 😂
One doubt sir, that is when more amount solute is dissolved in solution does it give us the more no of ions ,please solve my doubt sir.Very happy for clarifying my doubt ,I have been searching for the exact answer since three days,but you made it as simple as calkwalk process just with an analogy by graph. Thank you sir a student from india.i wish you to do clarify many more doubts
solubility is a constant at a particular temperature, so it's not correct to say that solubility will decrease when solution is supersaturated. when a solution is supersaturated, or concentration of ions in solution exceeds solubility, then precipitation will take place and concentration of ions in solution decreases until we get a saturated solution.
Thanks, I got it! But there is still one thing I fail to understand. Why do we even want to have a product, when we are looking for a specific amount (of Ions) that are solvable in a solution. From pure logic I would say that should add the ions to get an amount not multiple it
What??? 🤣🤣🤣 When you determine a product's solubility, with H2O as a common carrier, normally you're determining a solubility. This is a product. If it's water & an ion - that creates a product, its solubility is another (factor), are you familiar with General-Chem terms & theories ???? There is no 'specific' amount of Ions, per se, (😆)...unless you're comparing a Bond - while in a solution, through Solubility - there is No 100% Bond of ALL Ions, it's another (theoretical improbability) - you're essentially validating the Bonded-Compou ds Shape. You'll never attain a Viable-Resolution utilizing Logic : Step 1) nomenclature 2)math is a side-script 3)lose terminology for non-chemistry practices. I think you're Ignoring the Molecular-weight. Each strength of Bond per ion/compound (water is a compound) is relative to which (other) ions/compounds you may be adding - not as common (per se via Lab @compounds + H20 & ion), if you cannot deduce the Theoretical KsP to the Actual Yield - how will you know the Ion/Compound present - that is an actual bond(?)
How often are we graced with an actual-Saturated Solution! Challenging as the Variables create obscurity. Why is Gravity rarely mentioned in CHEM ??? 🫠
