Is it possible to find a solubility product constant without titrating the compound?

[Howard]

I've tried Googling, but all the sites that describe how to find Ksp do so by titrating?

Buy it a drink and ask it?

What's a tit rating? Is that like on a scale of 1 to 10? Have you checked the Hooters web site?

I was so happy when I had 2 fast replies but I guess I'm not so happy anymore.

tit rating at whose compound ?
am i invited ?

Sorry Howard, I couldn't resist. And I have no clue wtf you are talking about. I feel stupid.

Chemistry.

I haven't done chemistry in a while but IIRC you can usually find this stuff in tables.

Yes, but how are those values found?

I'm talking about finding Ksp with no other information but that which you can acquire through your own experimentation.

sorry i forgot and am too lazy to look it up. ttt!

edit: actually, since the concentrations of the free ions in solution are needed to find ksp, you would have to find that somehow. so unless you knew the concentrations, wouldn't the answer to your question be no?

Well, you know the concentrations of the solutions you titrate (with).

Actually, the concentration of the titrating solution is known, but the concentration of the titrated solution is not.

If I knew the saturation concentration of the titrated solution I could find its Ksp...
