Solution Summary

This solution is provided in 195 words. It calculates amount of solute in the reaction as well as their molarity. Concentration is also used to determine the reaction quotient and solubility product constant.

Solution Preview

First, we find the amount of each solute at the instant of mixing:

0.0220 L x 0.10 mol/L = 0.0022 mol Ba(NO3)2

0.0410 L x 0.22 mol/L = 0.0090 mol Na2CO3

Next, we find the molarity of ...
