Solubility Equilibrium
Equilibrium in solutions
In a saturated solution, the dynamic equilibrium is established between undissolved solids and the ionic species in the solution. It represents the balanced state where the forwards and reverse reaction proceed at the equal rate and the concentration remains constant.
Solubility Product Constant, Ksp
Insoluble salt does not mean totally insoluble in solvent, small amount of insoluble salt can still be dissolved in water a
Ksp is a measurement of how much the slightly insoluble salt dissolve in water.
The higher Ksp value indicates that the substances is more soluble. Ksp can be determined by calculating Molar solubility, the number of moles of salt dissolved in one liter solvent.
The precipitation can be predict by observing the Q (reaction quotient) value. The Q value can be determined as the same way as Ksp.
Q=Ksp, there is no precipitation
Q>Ksp, the solute precipitates
Q<Ksp, there is no precipitation
Selective Precipitation
Due to different solubilities, the solvent will bind with the solute with high solubility first before bind with the other. Once no solvent available to produce solution, the lower solubility solute will precipitate

Definition
Maximum amount of solute that dissolves in amount of solvent at specific temperature.
Unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions
Unsaturated solutions
A solution that can dissolve more solute because the concentration of the solute is less than the maximum solubility.
Saturated solution
A solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve. The solute concentration is equal to the solubility of the solute dissolve in a solution. The addition of more solute leads to the precipitation.
Supersaturated solution
A solution that contains more solute than the solute solubility at specific temperature. By heating the solution, the solute can be dissolved. But when the solution is cooled down, addition of more solute will caused the solution to crystalized.

Le Châtelier Principle
when factors that influence an equilibrium are altered, the equilibrium will shift to a new position that tends to minimize those changes
