Why are solids not included in the Ksp formula?

1 Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating the equilibrium constant expression we don't include pure solids or liquids because their concentrations stay constant during the reaction. Since their concentrations don't change significantly throughout the reaction (if enough is present) they don't affect the equilibrium so we don't include them in the ksp formula.

Answer: because the concentration of a purid solid remains constant during the reaction.
