JEE Advanced 2025 — Paper 2 — Question 39

The solubility of barium iodate in an aqueous solution prepared by mixing 200 mL of 0.010 M barium nitrate with 100 mL of 0.10 M sodium iodate is X×10−6 moldm−3{X} \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3}. The value of X{X} is \qquad . Use: Solubility product constant (Ksp)\left(K_{\mathrm{sp}}\right) of barium iodate =1.58×10−9=1.58 \times 10^{-9}

Answer: 3.95

Step-by-step solution

Ba(NO3)2(aq)+2NaIO3(aq)→Ba(IO3)2( s)+2NaNO3(aq)\quad \mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(\mathrm{aq})+2 \mathrm{NaIO}_{3}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{IO}_{3}\right)_{2}(\mathrm{~s})+2 \mathrm{NaNO}_{3}(\mathrm{aq})

2mmol10mmol2 \mathrm{mmol} \quad 10 \mathrm{mmol}

LR llll−6mmol−4mmol{llll} - 6 mmol - 4 mmol

[NaIO3]=6300=2×10−2M\left[\mathrm{NaIO}_{3}\right]=\frac{6}{300}=2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{M}

Ba(IO3)2( s)⇌Ba2++2IO3−\mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{IO}_{3}\right)_{2}(\mathrm{~s}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ba}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{IO}_{3}^{-}

 s (2×10−2+2 s)\text { s } \quad\left(2 \times 10^{-2}+2 \mathrm{~s}\right)

Ksp=[Ba+2][IO3]2\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{sp}}=\left[\mathrm{Ba}^{+2}\right]\left[\mathrm{IO}_{3}\right]^{2}

1.58×10−9=[Ba+2]×(2×10−2)21.58 \times 10^{-9}=\left[\mathrm{Ba}^{+2}\right] \times\left(2 \times 10^{-2}\right)^{2}

[Ba+2]=s=3.95×10−6M\left[\mathrm{Ba}^{+2}\right]=\mathrm{s}=3.95 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{M}

X=3.95\mathrm{X}=3.95
