Type your answer here... Dissolution is a rate process that is it is dependant on time. It is dynamic process. While solubility is a static property, does not dependant on time. also solubility is a inherent property.

Dissolution refers to the process in which a solid substance is mixed and dispersed in a liquid to form a solution. Solubility, on the other hand, is a measure of the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a solvent at a specific temperature. In other words, dissolution is the actual process of a substance dissolving, while solubility is a quantitative measure of how much of that substance can dissolve.
Solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature, while solubility product constant (Ksp) is the equilibrium constant for the dissolution of an ionic compound in solution. The higher the solubility product constant, the more soluble the compound is in solution.
The equilibrium constant Kf measures the extent of a reaction at equilibrium, while the solubility product constant Ksp measures the extent of a substance dissolving in a solution.
The solubility equilibrium equation for a compound is the equilibrium expression that represents the dissolution of the compound in a solvent. It is typically written as the product of the concentrations of the dissolved ions raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients.
Table salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), does have a solubility product constant (Ksp) value that can be calculated. It is a measure of the equilibrium constant for the dissolution of an ionic compound in water. The Ksp value for NaCl is approximately 36.7 at 25°C.
To calculate the solubility constant for a substance, you need to measure the equilibrium concentration of the dissolved substance in a saturated solution and use it in the equilibrium expression for the dissolution reaction. The solubility constant (Ksp) is then calculated by taking the product of the concentrations of the dissolved ions raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.
