Chapter 15, Problem 84E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of sulfate ion $\left({\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}{}^{\text{-2}}\right)$ is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

When a solid compound dissolves in the solvent, it will break into its constituent ions. The number of positive ions or negative ions of dissolve salt may or may not be equal.

The concentration of the dissolved ion depends upon the type of salt dissolved in the solvent.

The solubility of salt depends upon theirsolubility product $\left({\text{K}}_{\text{sp}}\right)$ value.
