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, ...

Ambiguity in the direction of dissolution equilibrium
The following reaction is usually carried out to test for the carbonate anion in an inorganic salt;
$$\ce{CO3^2- +BaCl2/CaCl2 -> BaCO3/CaCO3(s) + 2 Cl-}$$
The resulting carbonate is stated to be an ...

How many grams of sodium phosphate must be added to precipitate as much of one ion as possible?
Problem text:
Solid sodium phosphate is slowly added to $\pu{200 mL}$ of a solution containing $\pu{0.002 mol}$ of aluminum chloride and $\pu{0.001 mol}$ of calcium chloride (assuming no volume ...

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 ...

Will NaF + CaCO3 precipitate much CaF2?
If I mix sodium fluoride, calcium carbonate powder, and water, under what conditions (if any) would there be an equilibrium?
I.e. assume we start out with fully dissociated $\ce{Na+(aq) + F-(aq)}$, ...

Calculating equilibrium concentrations of silver and halide ions
$\pu{500 ml}$ of $\pu{0.01 M}$ $\ce{AgNO3}$ is mixed with $\pu{500 ml}$ of solution containing $\pu{0.1 M}$ $\ce{NaCl}$ and $\pu{0.1 M}$ $\ce{NaBr}$. $K_\mathrm{sp}$ of $\ce{AgCl}$ is $10^{-10}$ and $...

Determine concentration of phosphate after copper(II) oxalate is precipitated
Solution with $\ce{Na3PO4}$ with $\pu{0.02 M}$ concentration and $\ce{Na2C2O4}$ with $\pu{0.03 M}$ concentration. I add excess $\ce{Cu(NO3)2}$ very carefully – tiny amounts.
What will be my $\ce{PO4^...
