How to Find Molar Solubility?

Write the dissolution equation for the salt

Write the Ksp expression

Let the molar solubility be x

Express ion concentrations in terms of x using stoichiometric coefficients

Substitute the expressions into the Ksp equation

Solve for x

Use x as the molar solubility in mol/L

If common ions are present, include their initial concentrations in the Ksp setup

If the salt has a very small Ksp, check whether approximations are valid

Convert to other units only if needed
