Section 17 Solubility and Complex-ion Equilibria Solubility Equilibria Many natural processes depend on the precipitation or dissolving of a slightly soluble salt. The Solubility Product Constant When an excess of a slightly soluble ionic compound is mixed with water, an equilibrium is established between the solid and the ions in the saturated solution. When we say something is insoluble it is not 0 solubility. There is some but less than the 0.01M by definition of a soluble salt. Insoluble salts will have extremely small quantities of salt dissolve in water and a equilibrium will be es
