Answer:

Its concentration remains constant

Step-by-step explanation:

The concentration of a pure solid is left out of the expression for the equilibrium solubility of a salt because the concentration of a pure solid remains constant. Therefore, the activity of a pure solid is 1.

Being of a constant concentration, the pure solid is not included in equilibrium expression for the solubility of a salt.
