Answer #1

Solution:

The option will be K2SO4.

Because K2SO4 reacts with Ca(NO3)2 to form a sparingly soluble salt CaSO4.

Ca(NO3)2 + K2SO4 = CaSO4 + 2KNO3

Ca(NO3)2 is dissociated as,

Ca(NO3)2. = Ca2+ + 2NO3-

4 x 10^-5 M = 4 x 10^-5 M -- 2 x 4 x 10^-5 M

Thus

[Ca2+] = 4 x 10^-5 M

Ksp for CaSO4 = 7.1 x 10^-5 M

Ksp = [Ca2+] [SO4--]

[SO4--] = Ksp / [Ca2+] = 7.1 x 10^-5/4 x10^-5

= 1.775

Thus, [SO4--] = 1.8 M

Therefore,

Solution of K2SO4 must posses concentration of 1.8 M.
