Why does CaSO4 break up when adding HCl but not BaSO4?
I observed in a solution with CaSO4 that the white precipitate dissolved when I added concentrated hydro chloric acid (37%). I assume CaSO4 had a divorce and Ca decided to hook up with two Cl- ions, ...

Is there a name, or any specific jargon for a precipitation equilibrium involving a solid reactant?
Let's say you have some ions in solution, for example Na+(aq) and OH-(aq), and some partially dissolved solid, MgCO3(s), Mg+2(aq) and CO3-2(aq), which precipitates Mg(OH)2(s) until equilibrium.
So ...

Is chromate a suitable indicator for the titration of Ag⁺ with Cl⁻?
To titrate $\ce{Cl-}$ with $\ce{Ag+}$ we use chromate $\ce{CrO4^2-}$ as an indicator.
The titration reaction is:
$$\ce{Ag+ + Cl- <=> AgCl}\tag{R1}$$
$$K_1 = \frac{1}{K_\mathrm{sp}(\ce{AgCl})} =...

How to know when dissolution is complete?
In a given solubility equilibrium, I know that if $ Q >K_s$, then the salt will precipitate until $ Q =K_s$. If $ Q <K_s$, however, would the precipitate dissolve until $ Q =K_s$ too?
