Question

Consider the reaction
CaSO4(s) ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
At 25 °C, the equilibrium constant is Kc = 2.4 x10-5 for
this reaction. (a) If excess CaSO4(s) is mixed with water
at 25 °C to produce a saturated solution of CaSO4, what
are the equilibrium concentrations of Ca2+ and SO42-?
(b) If the resulting solution has a volume of 1.4 L, what
is the minimum mass of CaSO4(s) needed to achieve
equilibrium?
