Solution Equilibrium
Solution equilibriums are created when
additional solid is added to an already
saturated solution
For a solid in a saturated solution at
equilibrium:
The rate of
re-crystallization
must equal
rate of (Saturated sol’n)

Solution Equilibrium
The equilibrium for NaCl can be written as:
Keq = [CO2]
Keq = [CO2]
