Solubility Product Constants

The equilibrium constant, Ksp, for aqueous solutions of ionic compounds at 25°C.

Sponsored Links

For ionic compounds with limited solubility in water, an equilibrium constant, Ksp, can be defined from the ion concentration in water from the equation:

MmAn(s) = mMn+(aq) + nAm-(aq)

where MmAn is the slightly soluble substance and Mn+ and Am- are the ions produced in solution by dissosiation of MmAn.

Ksp = [Mn+]m * [Am-]n

The table below gives calculated values of Ksp for common ionic substances at 25°C (77°F). They are calculated by using standard state thermodynamic data and the equations:

ΔG° = m*ΔfG°(M+, aq) + n*ΔfG°(A-, aq) - ΔfG°(MmAn, s)        and       ln Ksp = -ΔG°/RT

Ksp is indicating the maximum concentration of the solved ionic substace in water at the actual (stable) temperature.


For sulfides, a Kspa is defined based on the equation

MmSn(s) + 2H+  =  mM+(aq) + nH2S(aq)
