Give the main points of difference between solubility product and ionic product.
Solubility product |
Ionic product |
1. It is applicable to saturated solution. |
1. It is applicable to any kind of solution. |
2. It is the product of the concentrations of the ions of the electrolyte each concentration raised to the power equal to the number of times each ion occurs in the equation in a saturated solution. |
2. It is the product of the concentrations of the ions of the electrolyte. Each concentration raised to the power equal to the number of times each ion occurs in the equation in solution at any concentration. |
3. It is constant for a given electrolyte at a given temperature. |
3. Its value is not constant and varies with change in concentration of the ions. |
