1. Purpose
Equilibrium constants and solubility product constants are fundamental concepts in chemistry, providing essential insights into the behavior of chemical systems at equilibrium. The purpose of determining these constants lies in understanding and quantifying the relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions, particularly in the context of aqueous solutions. When a reaction reaches equilibrium, the concentrations of the reacting species remain constant over time, despite the ongoing dynamic processes of the forward and reverse reactions. The equilibrium constant (K) serves as a numerical value that reflects the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants, each raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation. This ratio is crucial as it provides a snapshot of the system`s position at equilibrium, allowing chemists to predict the direction in which a reaction will proceed when conditions suc
