Abstract :
The solubility of K2SO4 in water at 25°C was determined. Comparing the value ofthermodynamic solubility product constant, Ksp(th), (Ksp(th) = exp (-ΔGodiss RT) of the mentionedsalt to the value of concentration solubility product, Ksp(c) which is obtained from the observedsolubility, s/moL-1, Ksp(c) = 4s3, revealed a great difference. The difference can be satisfactorilyexplained using Debye- HOckel law and ion assocaition phenomenon.
