    Molar solubility is the number of moles that are dissolved in 1 L solution.

    when BaF₂ dissolves it dissociates into the following ions

    BaF₂ - - > Ba²⁺ + 2F⁻

    if the molar solubility of BaF₂ is X, then molar solubility of Ba²⁺ is X and F⁻ is 2x

    then the formula for the solubility product constant - ksp is;

    ksp = [Ba²⁺][F⁻]²

    ksp = X * (2X) ²

    ksp = 4X³

    since ksp = 1.7 x 10⁻⁶

    4X³ = 1.7 x 10⁻⁶

    X = 0.0075 M

    molar solubility of BaF₂ is 0.0075 M
