Explanation / Answer

A) CaSO4 (s) --> Ca+2 + SO42-

the reaction quotient (Q) is given by

Q = [Ca+2] [SO42-]

Q = [2 x 10-3 ] [3 x 10-2]

Q = 6 x 10-5


B)

BaF2 (s) ---> Ba+2 + 2 F-

the expression for Ksp is

Ksp = [Ba+2] [F-]^2

2.45 x 10-5 = [Ba+2] [0.01]^2

[Ba+2] = 0.245 M

so

the concentration of Ba+2 must exceed 0.245 M
