Given the equation representing a solution equilibrium: BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq)

Chemistry

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) decreases

Explanation:

Whenever a solution of an ionic substance comes into contact with another ionic compound with which it shares a common ion, the solubility of the ionic substance in solution decreases significantly.

In this case, both BaSO4 and Na2SO4 both possess the SO4^2- anion. Hence SO4^2- anion is the common ion. Given the equilibrium;

BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq), addition of Na2SO4 will decrease the solubility of BaSO4 due to the presence of a common SO4^2- anion compared to pure water.

This implies that the equilibrium will shift to the left, (more undissoctiated BaSO4) hence decreasing the Ba^2+(aq) concentration.
