Q.
Solid Ba(NO3)2 is gradually dissolved in a 1.0×10−4 M Na2CO3 solution. At which concentration of Ba2+, precipitate of BaCO3 begins to form ? (Ksp for BaCO3=5.1×10−9)
Given Na2CO3=1.0×10−4M ∴[CO3−−]=1.0×10−4M i.e.s=1.0×10−4M
At equilibrium [Ba++][CO3−−]=Ksp of BaCO3 [Ba++]=[CO3−−]Ksp=1.0×10−45.1×10−9 =5.1×10−5M
