When the ionic product of a solution exceeds the solubility product, the solution becomes

A

saturated

B

unsaturated

C

a colloid

D

supersaturated and precipitation of salt occurs.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When ionic product `gtK_(sp)` , the solution becomes supersaturated and thus precipitated of salt occurs.
