Would the compound BaSO \(_{4}\) be considered soluble in water?

Short Answer

Expert verified
No, BaSO₄ would not be considered soluble in water.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Type of Compound

Initially, identify the type of compound. This is a compound consisting of Barium (Ba) and Sulfate (SO₄). Barium is a metal and sulfate is a polyatomic ion, making BaSO₄ an ionic compound.
02

Consult Solubility Rules

Next, consult the solubility rules. The general rule is most ionic compounds with a sulfate (SO₄) are soluble, but there are exceptions including Barium Sulfate (BaSO₄).
03

Determine Solubility of BaSO₄

Barium Sulfate (BaSO₄) is one of the exceptions to the sulfate solubility rule. This means it does not dissolve in water and is therefore insoluble.
