Kelarutan dan Hasil Kali Kelarutan (Ksp) Kimia Kelas 11 • Part 1: Konsep, Hubungan Kelarutan dan Ksp

Introduction

This tutorial aims to provide a clear understanding of solubility and the solubility product constant (Ksp) as discussed in the video on chemistry for 11th grade. It covers basic definitions, the relationship between solubility and Ksp, and includes practical examples to reinforce the concepts.

Step 1: Understand the Definition of Solubility

• Solubility (s) refers to the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a specific temperature and pressure.
• It is usually expressed in units such as grams per liter (g/L).
• Key factors affecting solubility include temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.

Step 2: Define Solubility Product Constant (Ksp)

• Ksp is a constant that represents the equilibrium between a solid and its ions in a saturated solution.

• It is calculated using the concentrations of the ions in solution at equilibrium.

• The general formula for Ksp of a salt that dissociates into its ions can be expressed as:

  [ Ksp = [A^+]^m[B^-]^n ]

  where:

  • ([A^+]) and ([B^-]) are the molar concentrations of the ions.
  • (m) and (n) are the stoichiometric coefficients from the balanced equation.

Step 3: Explore the Relationship Between Solubility and Ksp

• The relationship can be summarized as follows:
  • Higher solubility results in a higher Ksp value.
  • Conversely, a lower Ksp indicates lower solubility.
• To find Ksp from solubility:
  • If a salt dissolves to a concentration of (s), then the Ksp can be expressed in terms of (s).

Example Calculation

1. For a salt (AB) that dissociates into (A^+) and (B^-):
   • If the solubility (s) is given, then: [ Ksp = [s]^1[s]^1 = s^2 ]
   • This means if (s = 0.1) mol/L, then: [ Ksp = (0.1)^2 = 0.01 ]

Step 4: Practice with Examples

• Work through provided problems or create your own to practice calculating Ksp from solubility.
• Analyze how changes in temperature or the presence of common ions affect solubility and Ksp values.

Common Pitfalls

• Confusing solubility with Ksp. Remember:
  • Solubility is a measure of how much solute can dissolve.
  • Ksp is the product of the concentrations of dissolved ions at equilibrium.
• Forgetting to consider the stoichiometry of the dissolution reaction when calculating Ksp.

Conclusion

In summary, understanding solubility and Ksp is crucial for grasping chemical equilibria. The key takeaways include:

• Solubility measures how much solute can dissolve in a solvent.
• Ksp quantifies the equilibrium state of a saturated solution.
• Practice calculations to strengthen your understanding and application of these concepts.
