Unit 8 · Acids and Bases

Chapter 8.6

pH and Solubility

Tooth enamel survives water for a lifetime and dissolves in a soft drink in hours. When one of a salt's ions is a weak base, acid pulls it out of solution and the salt follows.

By the end

  1. 01Predict qualitatively how a pH change affects the solubility of a salt
  2. 02Identify the salts whose solubility depends on pH from the ions they contain
  3. 03Explain the effect with an equilibrium shift argument
