Most barium compounds are very poisonous; however, barium sulfate is often administered internally as an aid in the X-ray examination of the lower intestinal tract (Figure 15.4). This use of \(BaS{O_4}\) is possible because of its low solubility. Calculate the molar solubility of \(BaS{O_4}\)and the mass of barium present in \(1.00\;L\)of water saturated with\(BaS{O_4}\).
How do molecules of elements and molecules of compounds differ? In what ways are they similar?
