The solubility of CaCO₃ is 7 mg/L. Calculate the solubility product of BaCO₃ from this information and from the fact that when Na₂CO₃ is added slowly to a solution containing equimolar concentration of Ca²⁺ and Ba²⁺, no precipitate is formed until 90% of Ba²⁺ has been precipitated as BaCO₃.
A.4.9 × 10–10✓ Correct
B.5.9 × 10–5
C.6.9 × 10–10
D.8.3 × 10–5
Explanation
Molecular weight of 3 CaCO is 100 g/mol. 5 3 CaCO 7 10 M x So, 2 5 10 sp Q 7 10 49 10 x x Let, 2 Ca x . So, 2 Ba x . Now, the ionic product of 3 CaCO will be: 2+ 2- 3 Ca CO . So, the value of 10 2 3 49 10 CO x x According to the question, 90% of 2 Ba is precipitated and 10% is left. So, 2 10x Ba 100 . 10 2 2 10 sp 3 10x 49 10 K Ba CO 4.9 10 100 x x x x
