A) in pure water :
by using ICE table:
According to the reaction equation:
BaCrO4(s) → Ba^2+(aq) + CrO4^2-(aq)
initial 0 0
change +X +X
Equ X X
when Ksp = [Ba^2+][CrO4^2-]
by substitution:
2.1 x 10^-10 = X* X
∴X = √2.1 x 10*-10
∴X = 1.4 x 10^-5
∴ the solubility = X = 1.4 X 10^-5
B) In 1.6 x 10^-3 m Na2CrO4
by using ICE table:
According to the reaction equation:
BaCrO4(s) → Ba^2+(aq) + CrO4^2-(aq)
initial 0 0.0016
Change +X +X
Equ X X+0.0016
when Ksp = [Ba^2+][CrO4^2-]
by substitution:
2.1 x 10^-10 = X*(X+0.0016) by solving for X
∴ X = 1.3 x 10^-7
∴ solubility =X = 1.3 x 10^-7
It does that because petrol is a liquid chemical,has a lower mass per volume,or density,then the water on top so it spread out on top of the water
