Multiple Choice

A 0.012-mol sample of Na₂SO₄ is added to 400 mL of each of two solutions. One solution contains 1.5 × 10^-3 M BaCl₂; the other contains 1.5 × 10^-3 M CaCl₂. K_sp for BaSO₄ = 1.5 × 10^-9 and K_sp for CaSO₄ = 6.1 × 10^-5. Which of the following statements is true?

A) Both BaSO₄ and CaSO₄ would precipitate.
B) Not enough information is given to determine whether precipitation would occur.
C) CaSO₄ would precipitate but BaSO₄ would not.
D) BaSO₄ would precipitate but CaSO₄ would not.
E) Neither BaSO₄ nor CaSO₄ would precipitate.
