← ScienceWhich outcome increases when the solubility product constant (Ksp) is greatly exceeded in a solution?
A)Rapid precipitation of solid solute✓
B)Decreased rate of solute dissolution
C)Increased ion mobility in the solvent
D)Formation of a supersaturated solution
💡 Explanation
When the ion product significantly exceeds the solubility product constant (Ksp), super-saturation occurs because the solution contains more dissolved solute than it can stably hold, leading to the precipitation of the excess solute. Therefore rapid precipitation results, rather than slower dissolution, higher mobility or stable existence which require different conditions.
