Solubility Equilibria: Overview

Considere uma solução saturada de fluoreto de cálcio sal moderadamente solúvel com excesso de fluoreto de cálcio sólido. O fluoreto de cálcio já dissolvido se dissociou em Ca2+ e íons fluoreto.
No equilíbrio, a taxa de dissociação do fluoreto de cálcio é igual à sua taxa de formação. 
A extensão da dissociação é calculada quantitativamente a partir da constante de equilíbrio chamada constante do produto de solubilidade ou produto de solubilidade.
Ksp é definido como o produto de todas as concentrações de íons elevadas à potência de seu coeficiente na equação balanceada em equilíbrio.
De acordo com o princípio de Le Châtelier, a solubilidade de um sal moderadamente solúvel aumenta com o aumento da temperatura e diminui na presença de um íon comum devido ao efeito do íon comum.
Se o sal moderadamente solúvel for a base conjugada de um ácido fraco, a solubilidade aumenta aumentando a acidez.

equilíbrio de solubilidade: visão geral

Quando uma substância como o cloreto de sódio é adicionada à água, ela se dissolve, formando uma solução aquosa. A extensão da dissolução é chamada de solubilidade. O processo de dissolução pode existir em equilíbrio, assim como outros processos químicos. Os equilíbrios de solubilidade também é chamados de equilíbrios de precipitação porque o processo de solubilidade pode ser reversível. O inverso do processo de solubilidade é chamado de precipitação.

A solubilidade é importante em processos biológicos e ambientais. Um exemplo notável de solubilidade biológica é o efeito dos alimentos no esmalte dentário, que consiste do mineral hidroxiapatita. Comer alimentos ricos em açúcares produz ácidos orgânicos que dissolvem a hidroxiapatita, causando cáries. Outro exemplo é o oxalato de cálcio, um sal pouco solúvel que, se não for eliminado pela ingestão de água suficiente, pode precipitar a formação de pedras nos rins com o tempo.

Os equilíbrios de solubilidade seguem o princípio de Le Chatelier, que afirma que se qualquer força for aplicada a uma reação em equilíbrio, a reação resultante desloca-se para qualquer direção que ajude a mitigar a tensão desta força. Os fatores que afetam o equilíbrio de solubilidade de um sal pouco solúvel incluem a temperatura, o solvente, o efeito do íon comum, o pH da solução e a extensão da formação de íons complexos.

Quando um sal pouco ou moderadamente solúvel é adicionado a um solvente ou solução, existe um equilíbrio dinâmico entre os íons dissociados e o composto sólido na solução saturada. A constante de equilíbrio de um sal pouco solúvel é a constante do produto de solubilidade, ou produto de solubilidade, Ksp, que é independente da concentração da forma sólida do sal porque a concentração do sólido em uma solução saturada é constante.

how solubility reaches equilibrium

Solubility equilibrium describes what happens when a sparingly soluble salt dissolves in water and then reaches a balance with the solid left over. In a saturated solution, dissolved ions and the undissolved solid are in dynamic equilibrium. The process is reversible, so this topic is also called precipitation equilibrium.

This balance matters in real life. Sugar-rich foods can produce organic acids that dissolve hydroxyapatite, the mineral in tooth enamel, which can lead to tooth decay. A similar idea applies to calcium oxalate, a sparingly soluble salt that may precipitate over time and form kidney stones if it is not flushed out by enough water.

Solubility equilibria follow Le Chatelier's principle. If a stress is applied to an equilibrium system, the net reaction shifts in the direction that reduces that stress. For sparingly soluble salts, factors such as temperature, the solvent, the common ion effect, pH, and complex ion formation can change the balance.

The equilibrium constant for a sparingly soluble salt is called the solubility product constant, or Ksp. It describes the dissolved ions in a saturated solution. The solid form is not included in the constant because its concentration stays fixed in the saturated state.

How Solubility Reaches Equilibrium

ionic strength: overview

Ionic Strength in Salt and Acid Solutions

Ionic strength describes the total electrolyte concentration in a solution. It is a quantitative measure of how many ions are present and how strongly they contribute to the solution. The concept was introduced in 1921 by Gilbert N. Lewis and Merle Randall while they were describing the activity coefficient of strong electrolytes. To calculate ionic strength, written as I or μ, both cations and anions are included. The concentration of each ion matters, but the charge number z matters even...

ionic strength: effects on chemical equilibria

ionic-strength-effects-on-chemical-equilibria

Salt Effect on Salt Solubility

Salt effect can change the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt in water. When an inert ionic compound is added, the dissolved salt may become more soluble. A common example is potassium nitrate added to a saturated calcium sulfate solution, which increases the amount of calcium sulfate that dissolves. Le Châtelier’s principle does not explain this shift well. Instead, the change is described by the effective concentration of ions in solution. Each ion is surrounded by an ionic atmosphere,...

thermodynamics: chemical potential and activity

thermodynamics-chemical-potential-and-activity

Chemical Potential in Solution Activity

Chemical potential and activity describe how a species behaves in a solution. Activity is the effective concentration of a species. It accounts for the electrolytes near that species and depends on the ionic strength of the solution. Activity is calculated as molar concentration multiplied by the activity coefficient. This makes it a more precise way to describe a species in solution than concentration alone. The thermodynamic equilibrium constant is also defined more accurately using activity...

thermodynamics: activity coefficient

Activity Coefficient in Ionic Solutions

Activity coefficient in ionic solutions describes how much a species behaves like its measured concentration. Activity is the effective concentration of a solute in solution. It equals the molar concentration multiplied by the activity coefficient, which is a unitless number. The activity coefficient depends on the total ionic strength of the solution. It shows how far a solution is from ideal behavior. When ionic strength is very low, the activity coefficient of an ionic species is close to...

chemical equilibria: redefining equilibrium constant

chemical-equilibria-redefining-equilibrium-constant

Salt Effect in Equilibrium Constant Calculations

Salt effect changes how a sparingly soluble salt dissolves when an inert salt is added. The size of this effect depends on the ionic strength of the solution. Ionic strength reflects how strongly the ions in the solution interact. In solution, the activity of a species is the product of its concentration and its activity coefficient. A redefined equilibrium constant must account for these activity effects when the ionic strength is moderately high. This form is also called the thermodynamic...

factors affecting activity coefficient

How Ionic Strength Changes Activity Coefficient

The activity coefficient of an ion in water depends on ionic strength, ion charge, and ion size. The extended Debye-Hückel equation describes these effects for aqueous solutions at 25°C. These three factors are partly linked, so changes in one can influence the others. When a solution has almost zero ionic strength, the activity coefficient is close to one. That means the solution behaves almost ideally. As ionic strength rises from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, the activity coefficient usually drops.

chemical equilibria: systematic approach to equilibrium calculations

chemical-equilibria-systematic-approach-to-equilibrium-calculations

Equilibrium Calculations with Mass and Charge

Chemical equilibrium calculations become easier when they are organized around mass balance and charge balance. This approach is useful for systems with multiple equilibria, where several reactions must be considered together. It is especially helpful when finding the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt in water with a common ion present. The first step is to identify every chemical reaction in the system. Next, write the equilibrium constant expression for each reaction. These expressions...

acid&#8211;base equilibria: activity-based definition of ph

acidbase-equilibria-activity-based-definition-of-ph

How Ionic Strength Changes pH

pH depends on hydrogen ion activity, not just hydrogen ion concentration. In an ideal solution, pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. In a non-ideal solution, a more accurate pH uses hydrogen ion activity, which combines concentration with an activity coefficient. This difference matters most in very low ionic strength solutions, such as pure water. At first, the hydrogen ion activity coefficient is close to one. When an electrolyte that does not donate or accept a...

ladder diagrams: acid&#8211;base equilibria

Using Ladder Diagrams to Predict pH

Ladder diagrams help show how acid-base equilibria change with pH. They are graphical tools that make the chemistry of a system easier to read during analysis. In a ladder diagram, the vertical axis shows pH. Horizontal bars, or steps, place the pKa values in the system.

ladder diagrams: redox equilibria

Redox Potential Shifts in Ladder Diagrams

Ladder diagrams show redox equilibrium using electrochemical potential, E, as the vertical scale. They help students see how changes in concentration affect which species is most stable. The areas of predominance are set with the Nernst equation. A useful example is the Fe3+/Fe2+ half-reaction, which has a standard-state potential of +0.771 V. At potentials more positive than +0.771 V, Fe3+ predominates. At potentials more negative than +0.771 V, Fe2+ predominates. Ladder diagrams also show...

ladder diagrams: complexation equilibria

Reading Metal-Ligand Ladder Diagrams

Ladder diagrams help show equilibria in metal-ligand complexes. In these diagrams, the vertical scale shows pL, or the concentration of free ligand that has not reacted. The horizontal lines mark the log of formation constants and show which species is dominant in each region. For the Cd and ammonia system, the formation constant K1 for Cd(NH3)2+ is 3.55 × 10^2. Its log value is 2.55, so pNH3 = 2.55 is the dividing line between Cd2+ and Cd(NH3)2+ dominance. Above 2.55, Cd2+ is the predominant...

solubility equilibria: ionic product of water

solubility-equilibria-ionic-product-of-water

Water Ionization and Kw in Equilibrium

Water ionization and the ionic product of water describe how pure water reaches equilibrium. Water is a weak electrolyte, so only a small amount breaks into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. At a fixed temperature, the amount of undissociated water stays almost constant. Because of this, the ionic product of water is the product of the hydrogen ion concentration and the hydroxide ion concentration. It is written as K w . The square root of K w gives the concentration of each ion in pure water.

complexation equilibria: overview

Stepwise Metal-Ligand Complexation

Stepwise metal-ligand complexation forms coordination compounds when metal ions and ligands share electrons through dative, or coordinate covalent, bonds. In these reactions, the metal ion binds to one or more ligands until its coordination number is reached. This number tells how many bonds form between the metal ion and the ligands. In aqueous solution, many metal ions are already surrounded by water molecules. These species are called aqua complexes. Complexation reactions are described by...

Chelating Ligands and Metal Complex Stability

Metal complexes form when metal atoms or cations interact with ligands in a complexation reaction. These donor-acceptor adducts are central to understanding how metal ions bind in chemistry. Ligands can bind in different ways. A monodentate ligand uses one donor site. A bidentate ligand uses two donor sites, and a polydentate ligand uses more than two. Ethylene diamine is a bidentate ligand that binds through two nitrogen donor atoms and forms a five-membered ring. Polydentate ligands can...

Complex Ions: Metal and Ligand Stability

Complex ions form when a metal cation accepts electron pairs from ligands, which are the electron pair donors. The stability of these metal complexes depends mainly on the metal ion and on the ligands attached to it. The metal ion’s size and charge play a major role in stability. As the size of the metal ion increases, complex stability usually decreases when the valency of the metal ion and the ligands stays the same. As the charge on the metal ion increases, complex stability increases. <br...

redox equilibria: overview

Redox Electron Transfer and Half-Reactions

Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. In this type of reaction, electrons are not shared between atoms. They move from the species that loses them to the species that gains them. The species that loses electrons is the reducing agent, also called the reductant. It is oxidized during the reaction. The species that gains electrons is the oxidizing agent, or oxidant, and it is reduced. Redox reactions are often written as two half-reactions. One...

Direct, Back, and Displacement Titrations

Titrimetric methods use a standard solution to measure the amount of an analyte in chemistry. The main categories are volumetric, gravimetric, and coulometric methods. Each one reaches the endpoint in a different way. In volumetric titrations, the key measurement is the volume of a titrant with a known concentration. The titrant is added until it reacts completely with the analyte. In gravimetric titrations, the standard solution forms an insoluble precipitate with the analyte. That solid is...

classification-of-titrimetric-analysis-based-on-reaction-types

Four Reaction Types in Titrimetric Analysis

Titrimetric analysis measures solution volume and is also called volumetric analysis. A standard solution with a known concentration is placed in the burette and is called the titrant. The solution with an unknown concentration in the flask is the analyte, or titrand. Titrimetric analysis is grouped into four types based on the reaction between the titrant and the analyte. Acid-base titrations involve a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. This reaction forms water molecules.

Draw, identify, and contrast graphical representations of chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, and metallic) based on chemical formulas. Construct and communicate explanations to show that atoms combine by transferring or sharing electrons. EXPLANATION: This standard resumes discussions of interactions between atoms from 7.PS1. In seventh grade, students observed patterns within the periodic table that related the physical and chemical properties of substances to the location of the constituent elements on the periodic table. Revisiting general trends is likely to be necessary however a focus should be placed on the transfer of electrons underlying differences in the differences in properties. It is beneficial to show that electrostatic interactions occur even between two non-conductors. Demonstrations can be carried out by using static charge to hold a balloon against a wall or showing that oppositely charged pieces of invisible tape are attracted not only to each other but also to a neutral conductors and non-conductors such as foil strips or paper.

Understand that intermolecular forces created by unequal distribution of charges result in the varying degrees of attraction between molecules. Compare and contrast the intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole bonding and London dispersion forces) within different types of simple substances (only those following the octet rule) and predict and explain their effect on chemical and physical properties of those substances using models or graphical representations. EXPLANATION: This standard resumes where students left off in 7.PS1. Students' first exposure to all three phases of matter was in third grade, by fifth grade students were investigating phase changes in matter. These discussions have not included a mechanism to explain why states of matter are dependent on temperature and pressure. Students should consider this standard in conjunction with CHEM1.PS2.1 to explore differences in intermolecular attractions within molecular and ionic compounds and the behavior of electrons leading to these differences.

Construct a model to explain the process by which solutes dissolve in solutes, and develop an argument to describe how intermolecular forces affect the solubility of different chemical compounds. EXPLANATION: A similar task and standard exist in the fifth grade (5.PS1.3). At that time, students performed an investigation (which is again mentioned in CHEM1.PS2.4) into factors affecting solubility. However, student background knowledge was not sufficient to explore any explanation of their results. Explorations into intermolecular attractions in the previous standard (CHEM1.PS2.2) have introduced students to the existence of forces between molecules in a substance. Students can now apply these attractions to form explanations for how solute-solute, solute-solvent, and solvent-solvent attractions all interact as substances dissolve. (Solubility constants and saturation of solutions are beyond the scope of this standard.)
