In this activity, students will be able to rank the solubility of different salts. They will calculate molarity and Ksp values of saturated solutions. Students can add different salts to water, then watch them dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate. They are able to compare the number of ions in solution for highly soluble NaCl to other slightly soluble salts.
