For which of the following salt solubility product can be defined
The solubility products of Al(OH)3 and Zn(OH)2 are 8.5x10-23 and 1.8x10-14 respectively. If NH4OH is added to a solution containing Al3+ and Zn2+ ions, then substance precipitated first is
For a sparingly soluble salt $\mathrm{AB}_2$, the equilibrium concentrations of $\mathrm{A}^{2+}$ ions and $\mathrm{B}^{-}$ions are $1.2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{M}$ and $0.24 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M}$, respectively. The solubility product of $\mathrm{AB}_2$ is :

Solubility of a gas in a liquid increases by
Solubility
The maximum amount of a particular solute in grams, which can dissolve in 100 grams of solvent at a given temperature is called solubility. It is denoted by 's' and is expressed in g. The number of moles of solute in 1 L of saturated solution is known as molar solubility.
Solubility decreases with the increase in the concentration of common ion. It increases with temperature and increases in case the ions formed from the sparingly soluble salt undergo some sort of reaction like complexation.
Example, The solubility of AgCl in water in presence of AgNO3
Solubility increases due to complex ion formation. For example, AgCl has more solubility in ammonia due to complex formation
Solubility Product: It is the product of the molar concentrations of ions of an electrolyte in a saturated solution at a particular temperature. It is denoted by Ksp or S.
