Under which condition will a precipitate of a sparingly soluble salt form when two solutions are mixed?
Correct answer A. When the ionic product exceeds the Ksp of the salt
Explanation
If the product of ion concentrations (each raised to its coefficient) is greater than Ksp, the solution is supersaturated and the excess salt precipitates until the ionic product falls to Ksp.
