                    Solid \[Ba{{(N{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\] is gradually dissolved in a \[1.0\times {{10}^{-4}}\,M\,N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\] solution. At which concentration of \[B{{a}^{2+}}\], precipitate of \[BaC{{O}_{3}}\]begins to form? \[({{K}_{sp}}\] for \[BaC{{O}_{3}}=5.1\times {{10}^{-9}})\]                JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09 April 2013)   

    A)                 \[5.1\times {{10}^{-5}}\operatorname{M}\]                                       

    B)                 \[7.1\times {{10}^{-8}}\operatorname{M}\]                

    C)                 \[4.1\times {{10}^{-5}}\operatorname{M}\]                

    D)                 \[8.1\times {{10}^{-7}}\operatorname{M}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Concentration of \[CO_{3}^{2-}\] ions \[=1.0\times {{10}^{-4}}M\]                 For precipitation \[{{K}_{sp}}\le \,[B{{a}^{2+}}]\,[CO_{3}^{2-}]\]                 Given, \[{{K}_{sp}}=5.1\times {{10}^{-9}}\]                 Hence, minimum concentration of \[B{{a}^{2+}}\] ions should be                 \[=\frac{{{K}_{sp}}}{[CO_{3}^{2-}]}=\frac{5.1\times {{10}^{-9}}}{1.0\times {{10}^{-4}}}=5.1\times {{10}^{-5}}M\]
