The solubility product of BaSO4 at 25∘ C is 1.0 × 10−9. What would be
the concentration of H2SO4 necessary to precipitate BaSO4 from a solution
of 0.01M Ba2+ ions ?
10-7
BaSO4 ⇋ Ba2+ + SO2−4
At equilibrium, [Ba2+] = 0.01, [SO2−4] = s
Ksp = [Ba2+][SO2−4] = 0.01 × s
S(SO2−4) = Ksp[Ba2+] = 1 × 10−90.01 = 10−7 mole/litre
