Question

Barium sulfate, BaSO4, is used in medical imaging of the gastrointestinal tract because it is opaque to X-rays. A barium sulfate solution is ingested by the patient, whose stomach and intestines can then be visualized via X-ray imaging. If a patient ingests 200 mL of a saturated barium sulfate solution, how many grams of the Ba^2+ ion has the patient Consumed? Given: the solubility product Ksp of BaSO4 is 1.1 X 10^-10. Write the dissolution reaction: Calculate the molarity of the barium ion Calculate mass barium ion ingested:

Explanation / Answer

I just will answer the equation if you want the answers to the other questions attach them to a new question.
