x. Explain the relation between ionic product and solubility product to predict whether a precipitate will form when two solutions are mixed?

Answer:-

If ionic product and solubility product are indicated by IP and Ksp respectively then, (I) When IP = Ksp, the solution is saturated. (II) When IP > Ksp, the solution is supersaturated and hence precipitation will occur, when two solutions are mixed. (Ill) When IP < Ksp, the solution is unsaturated and precipitation will not occur, when two solutions are mixed.Read more on Sarthaks.com – https://www.sarthaks.com/1392574/explain-the-relation-between-ionic-product-and-solubility-product-to-predict
