Solution

The correct option is B

10.625 mg


BaCrO4 (s) Ba2+ + CrO24

KSP = 2 × 1010

Solubility of BaCrO4 = 2 × 1019 = 1.41 × 103

Concentration of barium chromate = 1.4 × 103

M. Mass of BaCrO4 = 253

1.4 × 107 moles of BaCrO4 = 1.4 × 103 × 253 g

= 1.4 × 103 × 253 × 1000 = 3.542 mg

for a single washing with one litre of water the mass of BaCrO4 lost = 3.542 mg

mass of Barium Chromate lost by washing with three litres = 3.542 × 3 = 10.626 mg

Loss of mass does not depend upon the quantity of the precipitate.
