What is the minimum concentration of SO42- required to precipitate BaSO4 in a solution containing 1.0 × 10-4 mole of Ba2+? Ksp for BaSO4 = 4 × 10-10

(a) 4 × 10-10 M

(b) 2 × 10-7 M

(c) 4 × 10-6 M

(d) 2 × 10-3 M

Correct answer: (c) 4 × 10-6 M

Explanation:

[Ba2+][SO42-]

Ksp = (1.0 x 10-4 )[SO42-] = 4 × 10-10

∴ [SO42-] = 4 x 10-6 M
