Solubition Of Ksp: An Analysis Of The Titration Of Posp

763 Words2 Pages

Solubility Equilibrium is an equilibrium constant for a solid dissolving in an aqueous solution. When there is a solid before the equilibrium sign and dissolved products after the equilibrium sign, it is talking about the solubility product. Also, referred to as Ksp. To solve Ksp you need the concentration of the two dissolved products. The equation of Ksp is... aA(s)⇌cC(aq)+dD(aq) Ksp= [C]ᶜ[D]ᵈ As, you can see pure solids and liquids are not included in the Ksp equation because they are already accounted for in the equilibrium constant. A Ksp with a large value has a lot of dissolved ions causing it to have …show more content…

Also, it had provided enough trials to find an accurate volume of Ca(OH)₂. The data collected gave enough information to find the mol of H⁺ ions which equaled the mol of OH⁻ ions because of neutralization. Furthermore, this helped to find the concentration of OH⁻, which helped find the concentration of Ca²⁺ because every 2 OH⁻ ions have one Ca²⁺ ion. That is why the concentration of Ca²⁺ was half of the concentration of OH⁻. With these two concentrations the Ksp was found which was 2.92 x 10^⁻⁵. The actual Ksp is 5.5 x 10^⁻⁶, therefore, there is a big difference. In fact, the percentage error is 431%. This could of happened because of some sources of errors in the …show more content…
