Writing Solubility Product Expressions
for Slightly Soluble Ionic Compounds
Problem: Write the solubility product expression for :
(a) silver bromide;
(b) strontium phosphate
(c) aluminum carbonate
(d) nickel(III) sulfide.(The sulfide ion acts as a base and dissociates water to produce SH- and OH- .)
Plan: Write the equation for a saturated solution, then write the expression for the solubility product.
