Formula and explanation

For a slightly soluble electrolyte A mB n(s) ightleftharpoons mAⁿ⁺(aq) + nB^(m - )(aq), its solubility product constant K(sp) is constant at a given temperature. The expression is: K(sp) = [Aⁿ⁺]^m [B^(m - )]^n. For example, AgCl(s) ightleftharpoons Ag⁺ + Cl⁻, K(sp) = [Ag⁺][Cl⁻].
