Theoritical principles in qualitative analysis  (Hydrogen Sulphide scheme) Solubility and Solubility Product : The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a definite amount of solvent at a particular temperature is called the solubility. For example the solubility of NaCl in water is 0.359 g/ml or simply 35.9 g/100ml at 25 degree centigrade and that of AgCl in water is only 520 micro gram/100 g at 50 degree centigrade. Thus we say AgCl is a sparingly soluble salt as it is soluble to a very less extent. Consider the solubility of AgCl, at  50 degree centigrade , It ionises in water as follows:                AgCl (s)  ⇌  Ag +  +  Cl  -    AgCl (s)   stands here for solid AgCl Applying the law of chemical equilibium,             K  = [Ag +  ] . [Cl  - ]  / [AgCl (s)]  ---------- equation 1 Since AgCl is sparingly soluble (d...
