how would you expect the solubility of barium sulfate in pure water to compare to its solubility in 0.10 m nacl

barium sulfate is insoluble (unable to dissolve) in water.

the general equation for the reaction between solid barium sulfate and nacl solution is this:

BaSO4 (s) + 2NaCl (aq) --> BaCl (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq)

to sum this up, to compare the solubility,

1. barium sulfate cant dissolve in pure water.

2. barium sulfate dissolves in nacl solution to give aqueous (aq) barium chloride (bacl) and aqueous sodium sulfate (na2so4), as shown in the equation above.

good luck!

they both have a y in them
