?Consider the reaction\(\mathrm{CaSO}_{4}(s) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(a

Chapter 15, Problem 15.55

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the reaction

\(\mathrm{CaSO}_{4}(s) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}(a q)\)

At \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the equilibrium constant is \(K_{c}=2.4 \times 10^{-5}\) for this reaction.

(a) If excess \(\mathrm{CaSO}_{4}(s)\) is mixed with water at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to produce a saturated solution of \(\mathrm{CaSO}_{4}\), what are the equilibrium concentrations of \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) ?

(b) If the resulting solution has a volume of 1.4 L, what is the minimum mass of \(\mathrm{CaSO}_{4}(s)\) needed to achieve equilibrium?
