For the equilibrium,BaSOX4(g)¢BaX2+(aq)+SOX42(aq). State the effect of Addition of Ba2+ ion.

Question

For the equilibrium,[\ce{BaSO_4 (g) î Ba^{2+} (aq) + SO^{2-}_4 (aq)}]. State the effect of Addition of Ba2+ ion.

Answer 1

The addition of Ba2+ ion will favour the reverse reaction. (that is, equilibrium shifts from right to left). This increases the amount of BaSO4.
