17. Barium sulfate is used in the form of “barium metal” in
the radiographic investigation of gastrointestinal tract and
is opaque to X-rays. Barium compounds are toxic. Despite
the low solubility of barium sulfate, some patients are
uncommonly allergic to barium ions. You have added solid
barium sulfate to H2O to give a saturated solution but wish
to reduce the barium ion concentration prior to ingestion
by patient. The reaction shown below is endothermic:
BaSO4 ( s ) + H2O  Ba+2 ( aq ) + SO4-2 (aq)
Which of the following procedures is used to reduce the
concentration of barium ions?
A. heat the mixture
B. add more solid barium sulfate
C. remove some of the saturated solution from solid
D. add H2SO4 to give ⌠H+⌡ concentration of 2 M

is:
A. HCO3- B. CO3-2 C. Cl-1 D. PO4-3
B. 0.2678 N D. 0.1274 N
27. Ionic radius is the radius of a cation or an anion as
measured in an ionic compound. Ionic radius increases as
we move down within a group, and it decreases as we
move across a period. Cations are smaller than their
corresponding atoms, because in the cation there are
more protons than electrons. Therefore, the electrons are
attracted and they move closer to the nucleus. Anions are
larger than their corresponding atoms, because the
presence of the extra electrons causes the electrons
causes the electrons to repel each other. As a result, they
try to move as far away from each other, creating bigger
clouds.
Which of the following statements is true?
I. The radius of Br - > Br
