Question

Nitrate salts are generally soluble, but as you have learned, nothing has infinite solubility. Barrium nitrate is one of the least soluble nitrate salts. Consider the following data:

Ba2+(aq) ΔGf° = –561 kJ/mol

NO3 – (aq) ΔGf° = –109 kJ/mol

Ba(NO3)2(s) ΔGf° = –797 kJ/mol

Use the above data to calculate the maximum solubility (in g/L) of Ba(NO3)2 in water under STP
