- Solubility Product: It is defined as the product of molar concentrations of the ions (formed in the saturated solution at a given temperature) raised to the power equal to the number of times each ion occurs in the equation for solubility equilibrium,
$\text{Zr}_3(\text{PO}_4)_4\rightleftharpoons3\text{Zr}^{4+}+4\text{PO}^{3-}_4$
$\text{K}_{\text{sp}}=[\text{Zr}^{4+}][\text{PO}^{3-}_4]^4$
- $\text{pH}=-\log[\text{H}_3\text{O}^+]$
$=-\log\text{C}\alpha$
$=-\log\sqrt{\text{K}_\text{a}\times\text{C}}$
$=-\log\sqrt{1.74\times10^{-5}\times0.01}$
$=-\log\sqrt{1.74\times10^{-7}}$
$=-\log\sqrt{17.4\times10^{-8}}$
$=-\log4.17\times10^{-4}$
$=-\log4.17-\log10^{-4}$
$=-0.6217+4.000$
$=3.3783$
- It is due to common ion, CI- increase, therefore rate of backward reaction increases, solubility of NaCl decreases.
