Answer

$ K_{sp} (BaCrO_4) = (1.17 \times 10^{-10})$

Work Step by Step

1. Write the $K_{sp}$ expression: $ BaCrO_4(s) \lt -- \gt 1Ba^{2+}(aq) + 1Cr{O_4}^{2-}(aq)$ $ K_{sp} = [Ba^{2+}]^ 1[Cr{O_4}^{2-}]^ 1$ 2. Determine the ions concentrations: $[Ba^{2+}] = [BaCrO_4] * 1 = [1.08 \times 10^{-5}] * 1 = 1.08 \times 10^{-5}$ $[Cr{O_4}^{2-}] = [BaCrO_4] * 1 = 1.08 \times 10^{-5}$ 3. Calculate the $K_{sp}$: $ K_{sp} = (1.08 \times 10^{-5})^ 1 \times (1.08 \times 10^{-5})^ 1$ $ K_{sp} = (1.08 \times 10^{-5}) \times (1.08 \times 10^{-5})$ $ K_{sp} = (1.17 \times 10^{-10})$
