Chapter 21, Problem 21.50QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The solubility of ${\text{BaSO}}_{\text{4}}$ in water at $\text{25}{}^{\text{ο}}\text{C}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Algae in the genius closterium contain structures built from barium sulfate. A sparingly soluble ionic compound releases ions in the solution. It gives relevant solubility product.

To determine: The solubility product of ${\text{BaSO}}_{\text{4}}$ in water at $\text{25}{}^{\text{ο}}\text{C}$.
