Can someone explain this....
I know for the Ksp expression, we exclude pure liquids and solids (I think the rationale is that mole fraction is 1, and x/1=x)
I have these questions:
1. If the solute is a gas say O2 and solvent is water do u include O2 (g) in the solubility product expression? I can't reason this out....
2. What is the definition of pure liquid/solid, on the MCAT how do u determine purity? Or do u just assume purity unless the question states compound A is a mixture of B&C.
3. If the solid is a mixture, how would you express it in the Ksp expression..
Thanks in advance..
