One liter pond section

This app explores K_sp and solubility of salts in a pond.

Select a Scenario at top left to begin. This loads preset input values for salt and ion concentrations, and K_sp for that salt, into the worksheet on the left.

Press the Run button to dissolve and precipitate to equilibrium. Results are animated on the pond display.

Try running each Scenario first. Then edit values on the Worksheet to explore from there. Remember, the system precipitates salt when Ω >= 1.0.
