Step 1
First, we need to write the dissolution equation for barium carbonate: BaCO3 (s) ⇌ Ba2+ (aq) + CO3 2- (aq) The solubility product expression is: Ksp = [Ba2+][CO3 2-] Since the dissolution of barium carbonate produces equal amounts of Ba2+ and CO3 2-, we can say Show more…

The solubility product constant, $K_{\mathrm{sp}}$, for barium carbonate is $8.2 \times 10^{-9}$ at a particular temperature. Calculate the solubility of $\mathrm{BaCO}_{3}$ in $\mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}$ at this temperature.
