Ksp

[hospitaldoctor1]

If I told you that solution A had a Ksp of 5x10-12 and another solution B had a Ksp of 5x10-3, what differences can you tell me about each solution?
Based on their Ksp, what are the differences between A and B?
Thanks

you would need the molar solubility to determine which was more soluble

A "solution" does not have a Ksp. Chemical species do.

which one would be more dilute?

Where is this question from? Can you quote the exact wording?

 

[hospitaldoctor1]

No, sorry

how do imagine we can know this with the question as stated??

 

[hospitaldoctor1]

Can you compare two solutions based on their Ksp's? What information can you get from the Ksp?

 

[RogueUnicorn]

what is Ksp?

you would need the molar solubility constant as answered from above.
