This is generally used for sparingly soluble salts. We will be dealing with the solubilities in the following type of solution :
Simple solution in H2O
Effect of common ions on solubility
Simultaneous solubility
Condition for precipitation
Solubility in a buffer solution
Solubility due to complex formation
Solubility product (ksp) is a type of equilibrium constant, so will be dependent only on temperature for a particular salt.
Following examples will illustrate the different type of solubilities and the effects of different factors or situation on solubility of a salt.
Simple solubility
Let the salt is Ax By, in solution in water, let the solubility in H2O = '*' M, then
