the maximum number of undissociated ions, of an electrolyte in a saturated solution, capable at a given temperature of remaining in equilibrium with the undissolved phase of the solution.

See p. 141 in regard to the form the solubility-product takes in the case of a salt of this type.

The solubility-product constants, for similar salts, are a measure of their solubilities in water.

The solubility-product constant for silver chloride at 25 is 2E10.
