When writing out the Ksp expression... do you include exponents?
When taking practice tests, several solutions showed that you leave the exponents out, however when I look the concept up online or in books it shows to leave them in.
for example -
BaF2 (s) --> Ba^2+ (aq) + 2F-
Is the Ksp = [Ba^2+] [F-] or Ksp = [Ba^2+] [F-]^2
Thanks!
