Solubility
Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a known amount of solvent at a particular temperature. Suppose you have salt and you are trying to dissolve it in a glass of water. Put sugar in water and stir to dissolve. If you repeat this process many times, the sugar will not dissolve, and the excess sugar will settle at the bottom of the jar. The amount of sugar that cannot be dissolved after it is added is its solubility. Solubility depends on many factors. Several factors include solute and solvent types, temperature, and pressure.
S = √Ksp
The solubility product equation has the same general form as other equilibrium constant equations, and the Ksp is called the solubility product constant.
Solubility Formula
Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a known amount of solvent at a particular temperature. A solution can be defined as a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes in a solvent. Adding sugar cubes to a cup of tea or coffee is a very common example of a solution. And the property that helps sugar molecules dissolve is called solubility. Therefore, the term solubility can be defined as the property of a substance or solute that is soluble in a particular solvent. A solute is any component that can be liquefied in a solvent, either solid, liquid, or gas.
