Could you please give me a simple definition/explanation of a solution equilibrium? Can it exist in a supersaturated solution?
Thank you.

Suppose you spoon sugar into water until no more will dissolve. There is a little sugar in the bottom. This means that sugar is dissolving into the water as fast as sugar is crystallizing out onto the bottom. That is dynamic equilibrium. A supersaturated solution is not at equilibrium, because it has more than it "can hold." So if you drop a crystal of sugar into a supersaturated solution, "kerchonk!" The extra sugar drops out at once.

The interation between an electrolyte AB and the solvent, generally water is a chemical reaction which can be written
AB + water >> A+ + B-
Being reversible , this reaction comes to equilibrium, and in the equilibrium state there will be present undissociated AB as well as hydraded A+ and B-.
The equilibrium condition is
K = ( A+ )( B- )/ (AB)
(...) means concentration
