High values of Ksp greater than 1.0 infer: The solid phase is relatively insoluble. The solid phase is relatively soluble. The chemical reaction proceeds readily to the right. The chemical reaction proceeds readily to the left.
High values of Ksp greater than
1 infer that the solid phase is relatively soluble. The higher the Ksp value
is, the greater the solid can be dissolve in the solution. It represents the
level at which a solute dissolves in the solution.
Answer:
Option The solid phase is relatively soluble.
Explanation:
The solubility constant of an ionic solid is given as an expression of the extent to which a substance can be soluble. The ratio is known as the solubility product constant and is given by the general expression:
\(K_{sp} = \frac{[products]}{[ reatants]}\)
where [ products] is the concentration of the products and [reactants] the concentration of the reactants.
A typical ionic reaction:
\(BaSO_{4}_{(s)} = Ba^{2+} _{(aq)} + SO_{4}^{2-} _{(aq)}\)
has the Ksp = [Ba²⁺][SO₄²⁻]
