Consider the reaction CaSO 4 (s) Ca 2 + (aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) At

Question:

Consider the reaction

CaSO4(s) ⇌ Ca2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)

At 25°C, the equilibrium constant is Kc = 2.4 × 10-5 for this reaction.

(a) If excess CaSO4(s) is mixed with water at 25°C to produce a saturated solution of CaSO4, what are the equilibrium concentrations of Ca2+ and SO42-?

(b) If the resulting solution has a volume of 1.4 L, what is the minimum mass of CaSO4(s) needed to achieve equilibrium?
