Question
A 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 10-10. What is the original concentration of Ba2+ ?
Options
A.
2 10-9 M
B.
1.1Â 10-9 M
C.
1.0Â 10-10 M
D.
5 10-9 M
Solution

Concentration of SO4-2 in Ba+2 solution
M1V1 = M2V2
1 50 = M2 500
M2 =
for just precipitation
I.P = Ksp
[Ba+2] [SO4-2] = Ksp (BaSO4)
[Ba+2]
[Ba+2] = 10-9 Min 500ml solution
For calculation of [Ba+2] in original solution (450 ml)
M1 450 = 10-9 500
M1 = = 1.11 10-9 M
[M1= molarity of Ba+2 in original solution (450ml)]
