Question
An aqueous solution contains an unknown concentration of Ba2+. When 50 mL of a 1 M solution of Na2SO4 is added, BaSO4 just begins to precipitate. The final volume is 500 mL. The solubility product of BaSO4 is 1 x 10–10. What is the original concentration of Ba2+?
1.0 x 10–10 M
5 x 10–9 M
2x10–9 M
1.1 x 10–9M
Solution
D.
1.1 x 10–9M
