The solubility of CaCO3 in water is about 7 mg L-1 . Show how one can calculate the solubility product of BaCO3 from this information and from the fact that when sodium carbonate solution is added slowly to a solution containing equimolar concentrations of Ca2+ and Ba2+, no CaCO3 is formed until about 90% of the Ba2+ has been precipitated as BaCO3.
