Exploring Ionic Strength's Impact on CaSO₄ Solubility

Created using ChatSlide

This educational experiment examines the solubility of calcium sulphate (CaSO₄) in water and its dependence on ionic strength, utilising sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. The objectives include determining CaSO₄ solubility in pure and NaCl-infused water, and assessing the effects of varied ionic strength. Underpinning the experiment is the theory that solubility is influenced by ionic strength and temperature, with increased ionic strength enhancing solubility. Procedures involve...
