Question

A student is curious about the Ksp value for NaCl. The student looks up the value om the appendix of his textbook but cannot find a value for NaCl. Why not?

Answer 1

Given :

The student looks up the value of the appendix of his textbook but cannot find a value for NaCl.

To Find :

Why the Ksp of NaCl is not present .

Solution :

Ksp values are given for those compounds which are partially soluble or insoluble in water .

But , we know NaCl is strong electrolyte and it completely dissociated in water .

So , the reaction go forward and their is no need to calculate Ksp .

Therefore , the Ksp of NaCl is not present .

Hence , this is the required solution .
