A sparingly soluble salt gets precipitated only when the product of concentration of its ions in the solution Q_((sp)) becomes greater than its solubility product. If the solubility of BaSO_4 in water is 8 xx 10^(-4) "mol dm"^(-3). Calculate its solubility in 0.01 mol "dm"^(-3) of H_2SO_4.

Solution :`BaSO_(4(g)) hArr Ba_((aq))^(2+) + SO_(4(aq))^(2-)`
`K_(sp)` for `BaSO_4 = [Ba^(2+)] [ SO_4^(2-) ] =sxxs =S^2`
But `S=8XX10^(-4) "mol dm"^(-3)`
`THEREFORE K_(sp)=(8xx10^(-4))^2 = 64xx10^(-8)`
In the presence of 0.01 `MH_2 SO_4`, the expression for `K_(sp)` will be
`K_(sp)=[Ba^(2+)][SO_4^(2-)]`
`K_(sp)`=(s)(s+0.01)(0.01M `SO_4^(2-)` IONS from 0.01 M `H_2SO_4` )
64 x 104 = s. (s+0.01)
`s^2=0.01s-64xx10^(-8)=0`
`s=(-0.01pmsqrt((0.01)^2+(4xx64xx10^(-8))))/2`
`=(-0.01pm sqrt(10^(-4)+256xx10^(-8)))/2`
`=(-0.01 PM sqrt(10^(-4)(1+256 xx10^(-4))))/2`
`=(-0.01 pm 10^(-2) sqrt(1+0.0256))/2`
`=(10^(-2) (-1pm1.012719))/2`
`=5xx10^(-3) (-1+1.012719)`
`=6.4xx10^(-5) "mol dm"^(-3)`
