Question

Which of the following is the correct equation relating Q to K_sp for a supersaturated solution? A) Q > K_sp B) Q < K_sp C) Q = K_sp D) Q ≠ K_sp E) Q ≥ K_sp

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a supersaturated solution, the concentration of solute is greater than its equilibrium concentration (K_sp). Therefore, Q (the actual concentration of solute) must be greater than K_sp to maintain the supersaturation. Hence, the correct equation is Q > K_sp, which is option A.
