A chemist attempts to separate barium ions from lead ions by using the sulfate ion as a precipitating agent. the ksp values of baso4 and pbso4 are 1.1 * 10-10 and 1.6 * 10-8, respectively. what two sulfate ion concentrations are required for the precipitation of baso4 and pbso4 from a solution containing 0.099 m ba2 + (aq) and 0.099 m pb2 + (aq) ? 1. 2.47501 * 10-9 m, 3.60002 * 10-7 m 2. 1.02154 * 10-9 m, 1.48587 * 10-7 m 3. 2.17763 * 10-9 m, 3.16746 * 10-7 m 4. 1.11111 * 10-9 m, 1.61616 * 10-7 m 5. 3.68485 * 10-9 m, 5.35977 * 10-7 m

    4. 1.11111 x 10⁻⁹ M, 1.61616 x 10⁻⁷ M.

    Explanation:

    The main idea here to solve this problem is that to precipitate a substance, the ionic products of the ions that form this substance should be ≥ its solubility product (Ksp). To precipitate BaSO₄, The ionic product of BaSO₄ ([Ba²⁺][SO₄²⁻]) should be ≥ Ksp of BaSO₄ (Ksp = 1.1 x 10⁻¹⁰).

    BaSO₄ ↔ Ba²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

    Ksp = [Ba²⁺][SO₄²⁻]

    [SO₄²⁻] = Ksp / [Ba²⁺] = (1.1 x 10⁻¹⁰) / (0.099) = 1.11111 x 10⁻⁹ M.

    By the same way; the other precipitate:

    To precipitate PbSO₄, The ionic product of PbSO₄ ([Pb²⁺][SO₄²⁻]) should be ≥ Ksp of PbSO₄ (Ksp = 1.6 x 10⁻⁸).

    PbSO₄ ↔ Pb²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

    Ksp = [Pb²⁺][SO₄²⁻]

    [SO₄²⁻] = Ksp / [Pb²⁺] = (1.6 x 10⁻⁸) / (0.099) = 1.61616 x 10⁻⁷ M.

    So, the right answer is 4. 1.11111 x 10⁻⁹ M, 1.61616 x 10⁻⁷ M.
