Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
of barium chloride is mixed with of sodium sulphate. Barium sulphate has . Will a precipitate form?
For , , where is the molar solubility in mol/L. AB: ; : . With a common ion of concentration , for type AB. A precipitate forms when the ionic product after mixing is larger than .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. After mixing. and .
