so what i gleaned from this question is that for 2 ions to precipitate out of solution, their Ksp in solution has to be higher than their reported actual Ksp.
but from TBR GchemI i learned
"Relative solubility questions are asked in many ways such as: "Which salt exhibits greater solvation?" and "Which salt precipitates first?". Use molar solubility to answer questions that address relative solubility. Solubility product is employed only for calculation-based questions."
so you can never use Ksp to determine which salt will precipitate first right?
