Worked example: Calculating solubility from Kₛₚ

A compound's molar solubility in water can be calculated from its Kₛₚ value at 25°C. To do so, first prepare an ICE (Initial, Change, and Equilibrium) table showing the equilibrium concentrations of the ions in terms of x, the molar solubility of the compound. Then, plug these expressions into the solubility-product expression for the compound and solve for the value of x.
