Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:

• identify what determines solubility in terms of bonding forces
• construct K_sp from the chemical equation for dissolution
• calculate solubility from K_sp values for salts with formulae MX and MX₂
• use the ionic product, Q, to predict whether dissolution or precipitation will occur
• apply the common ion effect qualititatively by considering equilibria and quantitatively using K_sp and Q

• Sections 10.1 - 10.4 (in [main text] Blackman, Bottle, Schmid, Mocerino and Wille, Chemistry, 3^rd Edition, 2015 (John Wiley)
