Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Solubility of $ BaS{O_4}\text{,s=}\frac{2\text{.42 }\times\text{ 1}{0^{\text{-3}}}}{233}\text{(mol}{L^{\text{-1}}}\text{)} $ $ \text{=1}\text{.04 }\times\text{ 1}{0^{\text{-5}}}\text{(mol}\text{L-1)} $ $ BaS{O_4}(s)\underset{S}{\mathop{B{a^{2+}}}},(aq)+\underset{S}{\mathop{SO_4^{2-}}},(aq) $ $ {K _{sp}}\text{= }[\text{ B}{a^{\text{2+}}}]\text{ }[\text{ SO}_4^{\text{2-}}]\text{ =}{s^{2}} $ $ \text{=(1}\text{.04}\times 1{0^{-5}}{{)}^{2}} $ $ =1.08\times {10^{-10}}mol^{2}{L^{-2}} $
