Solubility equilibrium is any chemical equilibrium between solid and dissolved states of a compound at saturation. Chemical equilibrium is the state in which the concentrations of the reactants and products have no net change over time. ... In chemistry, saturation has four different meanings: In physical chemistry, saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance and additional amounts of that substance will appear as a precipitate. ...


The substance that is dissolved can be an organic solid such as sugar or an ionic solid such as table salt. The main difference is that ionic solids dissociate into constituent ions when they dissolve in water. Most commonly water is the solvent of interest, although the same basic principles apply with any solvent. Magnification of typical sugar In non-scientific use, the term sugar means sucrose, also called table sugar or saccharose, a white crystalline solid disaccharide. ... Edible salt is a mineral, one of the few rocks people eat. ... A solvent is a fluid phase (liquid, gas, or plasma) that dissolves a solid, liquid, or gaseous solute, resulting in a solution. ...


In the case of environmental science studies of water quality, the total concentration of dissolved solids (not necessarily at saturation) is referred to as total dissolved solids. jecca is very beautiful!! Environmental science is the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment; with a focus on pollution and degradation of the environment related due to human activities; and the impact on biodiversity and sustainability from local and global development. ... Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is that portion of solids in water that can pass through a 2 micrometre filter. ...

Non-ionic compounds

Dissolution of an organic solid can be described as an equilibrium between the substance in its solid and dissolved forms:

An equilibrium expression for this reaction can be written, as for any chemical reaction (products over reactants):

where K is called the equilibrium constant (or solubility constant) and the square brackets mean molar concentration in mol/L (sometimes called molarity with symbol M). Because a notion of concentration for a solid doesn't make sense, curly brackets are used, which mean activity, around the solid. Luckily, the activity of a solid is almost always equal to one. So, a very simple expression suffices: In chemistry, the equilibrium constant is a quantity characterizing a chemical equilibrium in a chemical reaction which is a useful tool to determine the concentration of various reactants or products in a system where chemical equilibrium occurs. ... The mole and its simple conversions into different units of measurements. ... The liter (spelled liter in American English and litre in Commonwealth English) is a unit of volume. ... This page refers to concentration in the chemical sense. ...

This statement says that water at equilibrium with solid sugar contains a concentration equal to K. For table sugar (sucrose) at 25 °C, K = 1.971 mol/L. (This solution is very concentrated; sucrose is extremely soluble in water.) This is the maximum amount of sugar that can dissolve at 25 °C; the solution is saturated. If the concentration is below saturation, more sugar dissolves until the solution reaches saturation, or all the solid is consumed. If more sugar is present than is allowed by the solubility expression then the solution is supersaturated and solid will precipitate until the saturation concentration is reached. This process can be slow; the equilibrium expression describes concentrations when the system reaches equilibrium, not how fast it gets there. Sucrose (common name: table sugar, also called saccharose) is a disaccharide (glucose + fructose) with the molecular formula C12H22O11. ...


Ionic compounds

Ionic compounds normally dissociate into their constituent ions when they dissolve in water. For example, for calcium sulfate: Calcium sulfate is a common laboratory and industrial chemical. ...

As for the previous example, the equilibrium expression is:

where K is called the equilibrium (or solubility) constant, the square brackets mean molar concentration (M, or mol/L), and curly brackets mean activity. Since the activity of a pure solid is equal to one, this expression reduces to the solubility product expression:

This expression says that an aqueous solution in equilibrium with (saturated with) solid calcium sulfate has concentrations of these two ions such that their product equals Ksp; for calcium sulfate Ksp = 4.93×10−5. If the solution contains only calcium sulfate the concentration of each ion (and the overall solubility of calcium sulfate) is It has been suggested that Solid solubility be merged into this article or section. ...

Solubility constants

Solubility constants have been experimentally determined for a large number of compounds and tables are readily available. For ionic compounds the constants are called solubility products. Concentration units are assumed to be molar (moles per liter) unless otherwise stated. Solubility is sometimes listed in mass units such as grams dissolved per liter of water. An ion is an atom or group of atoms that normally are electrically neutral and achieve their status as an ion by loss (or addition) of an electron(s). ... This page refers to concentration in the chemical sense. ...


Solubility (and equilibrium) constants themselves are dimensionless (however, they may have units). The lack of units in the constant may look inconsistent, but it comes about because the use of molar concentration in the solubility expression is only an approximation to activity, a unitless quantity that is approximately equal to molarity at low concentrations. In the physical sciences, a dimensionless number (or more precisely, a number with the dimensions of 1) is a quantity which describes a certain physical system and which is a pure number without any physical units; it does not change if one alters ones system of units of measurement...


The common-ion effect refers to the fact that solubility equilibria shift in response to Le Chatelier's Principle. In the above example, addition of sulfate ions to a saturated solution of calcium sulfate causes CaSO4 to precipitate until the ions in solution again satisfy the solubility expression. (Addition of sulfate ions could be accomplished by adding a very soluble salt, such as Na2SO4.) The common-ion effect is a term used to describe the effect on a solution of two dissolved solutes that contain the same ion. ... In chemistry, Le Chateliers principle can be used to predict the effect of a change in conditions on a chemical equilibrium. ... In inorganic chemistry, a sulfate (IUPAC-recommended spelling; also sulphate in British English) is a salt of sulfuric acid. ...


Solubility is sensitive to temperature. For example, sugar is more soluble in hot water than cool water. It occurs because solubility constants, like other types of equilibrium constant, are functions of temperature. A thermodynamic approach is required to predict how much and in what direction a particular constant changes. Fig. ... Thermodynamics (Greek: thermos = heat and dynamic = change) is the physics of energy, heat, work, entropy and the spontaneity of processes. ...

solubility - encyclopedia article about solubility. (2051 words)
The solubility of one substance dissolving in another is determined by the intermolecular forces between the solvent and solute, temperature, the entropy change that accompanies the solvation, the presence and amount of other substances, and sometimes pressure or partial pressure of a solute gas.
For salts, solubility in aqueous solutions is often dependent on a solubility constant.
The solubility constant is a special case of an equilibrium constant for the reaction of dissolving the salt in question, with the concentration of undissolved compound not in the expression because it is not in the aqueous phase.
