One hundred milliliters of 0.0010 M Ba(NO3)2 are mixed with 100 mL of 0.020 M Na2SO4. The solubility product of BaSO4 is 1.1×10−10. Which option gives the correct reaction quotient Q for BaSO4 after mixing and predicts whether a precipitate forms?
a) Q=2.0×10−5; BaSO4 precipitates
b) Q=5×10−6; BaSO4 precipitates
c) Q=2.5×10−3; BaSO4 precipitates
d) Q=5×10−6; BaSO4 does not precipitate
