    Delta Ksp
Click For Summary
Calculating the solubility product constant (Ksp) at a specific temperature is feasible if Ksp at another temperature and the enthalpy change (ΔH) are known. To perform this calculation, the entropy change (ΔS) must also be determined. The relationship between Ksp, temperature, ΔH, and ΔS is essential for accurate computations. The discussion confirms that understanding these thermodynamic parameters allows for the adjustment of Ksp values across different temperatures. This approach is vital for precise chemical analysis and applications.

Is it possible to calculate Ksp at a certain temperature if you know Ksp at a different temperature and \Delta H?

Yes, it's possible.
 
But you'd need to get delta S first right?

EDIT: nvm, got it.
