## General guidance

Concepts and reason

The concept used to solve this problem is determined the product of total ion in the solutions.

Fundamentals

Solubility product constant ():

The equilibrium constant for a low solubility compound (approximately insoluble) is the solubility product constant (). A expression has no denominator because the only species on the left side of the equation is a solid. For example the solubility product constant of is expressed as follows:

The solubility product is denoted by , it is the product of the ion concentrations.

The molar solubility is denoted by . . It is the number of moles of solute is dissolved in 1.00 liter of solution.

An equation co-efficient is a number that is placed to the left side of a chemical formula in a balance chemical equation.
