Homework Help: CHEMISTRY--PLEASE HELP, URGENT

Posted by Maggie on Monday, April 12, 2010 at 10:39pm.

A saturated solution of CaSO4(aq) is made in a beaker until there is excess calcium sulfate resting at the bottom. Then solid potassium sulfate is added. Which of the following is true? (The Ksp for potassium sulfate is larger than the Ksp for calcium sulfate)
a. More calcium sulfate will start to precipitate out of solution
b. More calcium sulfate will start to dissolve in solution

*I know that when a smaller Ksp is added to a bigger Ksp it precipitates out of solution. Is that the same in the reverse?*

I answered this at the original post. If that wasn't the same student let me know and I will try to find it and post a link to it.
