Hi, Could someone please explain what's the relation between Van't Hoff factor and Ksp?
I'm going through EK 1001 and the answer to question 556 says " It is wrong to compare Ksp's of salts that break up into different numbers of particles. For example, we can't compare the Ksp values for CaCO3 and Na2CO3, since they dissociate into two and three ions, respectively."
I've found a similar post to mine, but the answers didn't really help me:
Solubilities, van't Hoff factor, and Ksp
