Chemistry
If calcium sulfate and barium sulfate do not form mixed crystals(i.e. they only form 1:1 species), what is the maximum fraction ofthe barium ion that can be precipitated as the sulfate from asolution that is initially 0.080 M in Ba2+ and 0.100 M in Ca2+,before the precipitation of calcium sulfate starts? For BaSO4, Ksp= 1.1 x 10-10, for CaSO4, Ksp = 2.4 x 10-5

First note that since the KSP of BaSO4 is very less as compared to that of CaSO4 it means that BaSO4 is less likely to dissolve or will form precipitate first as
