Question

The Ksp for a salt is 5.2 x 103. Based on this, which of the following can be concluded? Select all that apply.

A. It would be difficult to precipitate this salt out of solution.

B. You should expect a lot of the salt to dissolve in water.

C.This salt could be precipitated out of solution easily.

D. You cannot predict how well the salt will dissolve in water based on this information

E. You should not expect much of the salt to dissolve in water

F. This salt would be considered "slightly soluble" in the solubility rules.

Ans. Ksp of salt is given as 5.2 * 10^3.

The Ksp is too much high and hence it would be difficult to precipitate this salt out of solution.

A lot of the salt to dissolve in water if ksp like in this question is very high.

A salt is started to precipitate when ionic product is more than the solubility product.
