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.

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
