APFIVE Solubility Product Constant Interpretation
In an experiment to determine the Ksp of a slightly soluble salt, a student measures the concentrations of the ions in solution at equilibrium. They conclude that the Ksp value indicates the reaction’s spontaneity. What is the correct interpretation of Ksp?
A
Ksp values indicate the speed at which a salt dissolves.
B
Ksp values are directly related to the reaction’s Gibbs free energy.
C
A higher Ksp means the reaction is more exothermic.
D
Ksp indicates the solubility of the salt, not the reaction’s spontaneity.
