Get students to dissolve some NaCl and calcium hydroxide in two separate beakers of water. Stir chemicals to dissolve. Ask students what the difference is and lead them to the idea that the NaCl is soluble but the calcium hydroxide isn't. Revise the fact that calcium hydroxide solution is limewater. Get students to filter the calcium hydroxide mixture and and then bubble Carbon dioxide into it. Filtrate should go milky i.e. the filtrate was limewater and so a small amount of calcium hydroxide had dissolved in the water even though the compound seemed to be insoluble. This leads to the idea that even compounds that to our eyes are insoluble are in fact slightly soluble i.e. they are sparingly soluble.
Revise Le Chatelier's Principle and equilibria
Revise molar ratios.
Develop solubility product constant expressions for the compound types mentioned in the SLOs
Pages 247- 252 in the 2006 edition of "Year 13 Chemistry NCEA level 3" practical workbook by Cooper and Abbott has exercises that revise equilibria and then introduce students to writing equilibrium constant expressions. Be aware of copyright considerations.
After this clip it will probably be necessary to emphasise the fact that the only source of silver ions is from the silver iodide and so its value represents the concentration of silver iodide in a solution that contains iodide ions from another source.
Lots of practice with problems is necessary.
