Take Free Practice Test On 2026 JAMB UTME, Post UTME, WAEC SSCE, GCE, NECO SSCE
  • A To measure the total mass of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent
  • B To determine the concentration of a solute in a saturated solution
  • C To calculate the solubility of a solute in a given solvent
  • D To compare the solubilities of different solutes in the same solvent
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The solubility product constant (Ksp) is a constant specific to a given solute and solvent at a particular temperature. It is used to calculate the concentration of a solute in a saturated solution, where no more solute can dissolve at equilibrium.
