Explanation / Answer
ksP FOR BaSO4= [Ba+2] [SO4-2] =
let x= [Ba+2]
then x2=1.1*10-10, x= 1.0488*10-5 M/L
[SO4-]2 = 1.0488*10-5
when 0,01m CasO4 is dissolved
CaSO4-----> Ca+2 +SO4-2
KSp =2.4*10-5
y2= 2.4*10-5, where y= [Ca+2] =[SO4-]2
y= 0.004899M
[SO4-2] =0.004899
BaSO4 Ba+2 SO4-2
initial 0 0.004899
change x x
equilibrium x 0.004899+x
KSp = x*(x+0.004899)= 1.1*10-10, where x= solubility of BaSO4
when solved using excel,. x = 2.2*10- 8 M. The solubility will decrease ( C is correct)
