The Ksp expression for the dissociation of solid Al(OH)3 into Al3+ and OH ions in aqueous solution can be written as:
Ksp=[Al3+][OH]3
where Ksp is the solubility product constant, and the square brackets denote the molar concentrations of the ions in solution at equilibrium.
This expression indicates that the equilibrium constant for the reaction
Al(OH)3 (s) Al3+ (aq) + 3 OH (aq)
is equal to Ksp.
In other words, the product of the concentrations of the Al3+ and OH ions raised to their stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation is equal to the solubility product constant for Al(OH)3.
