Solubility Product Test

Topics included in the test This outline is for the regular SCH4U students not the TOPS program
This outline is for last semester students NOT this semester

  • Definition of solubility and molar solubility
  • Difference between saturated, unsaturated and supersaturated solutions
  • Difference between dilute and concentrated solutions
  • Difference between soluble ionic compounds and sparingly soluble ionic compounds.
  • How can you determine if the given solution is saturated or unsaturated?
  • What are the conditions for precipitation of an ionic compound from its solution?
  • Distinguish between Qsp and Ksp, what do they represent?
  • How can you use Qsp and Ksp to predict precipitation?
  • What are some applications of knowledge of Ksp?
  • How will you separate aqueous solutions of ionic compounds by precipitation reactions and knowledge of Ksp?
  • What information is needed to determine the concentrations of reagents used in qualitative analysis or precipitation reactions.
  • What are the common solubility rules for predicting precipitations?
  • Problems – Predicting if by mixing two solutions there will be a precipitate formed or not.
  • Problems – Calculating molar solubility.
  • Predicting solubility of certain ionic sparingly soluble salts in ionic solutions containing their own ions.
  • Problems – Learning to express the solubility in grams / 100 ml and moles per liter.
  • Methods for determining Ksp of sparing soluble salts.
  • Commonion Effect – defnition
  • How to selectively precipitate using commonion effect
  • Application of commonion effect
  • More to be added
