Saturated Solution A saturated solution • contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute • contains solid solute • is an equilibrium system: rate of dissolving = rate of recrystallization solid ions in solution
Solubility Product Constant The solubility product constant for a saturated solution • gives the ion concentrations at constant temperature • is expressed as Ksp • does not include the solid, which is constant Fe(OH)2(s) Fe2+(aq) + 2OH−(aq) Ksp = [Fe2+] [OH−]2
