Ok
I been strugguling with this concept because its different everything I read but I finally concluded that what this concept is the following in my own words, so tell me if I"m right or wrong.
The solubility constant of a solution is the number of moles that can dissolve in 1 L of solution. The common ion effect is that, we want to put compound AB into a solvent(H2O), but Solvent(h20) already has 5.0x10^-4 moles of B already(assuming this ISN"T fully saturated). Because solvent(H20) is already semi saturated. the dissocation of AB will decrease because there is already plenty of B in the solvent already.
