Question
How do solubility product and ionic product help in predicting the nature of solution? What is the significance of ionic product of water ?
Solution
Depending upon the ionic product, the solution of the salt may be unsaturated, saturated or super-saturated.
(i) If the ionic product < solubility product, the solution is unsaturated.
(ii) If the ionic product solubility product, the solution is saturated.
(iii) If the ionic product > solubility product, the solution is super-saturated.
