Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 3
The dissolution reaction of Baco, is as follows:
The solubility of the decreases in presence of a common reagent is a strong conjugate base of the weak acid Hence, in presence of an acid, converts into , Hence, equilibrium shifts to the right. That means in presence of an acid, the solubility of , increases. If the concentrations of the other species have no effect on the equilibrium then the solubility remains constant
(a)
As the concentration of (acid) increases the solubility of increases. Hence, the graph which represents this behavior is as follows:
