What will occur if the basicity of a saturated solution of Na2SO4 is increased?
I reasoned:
SO4 + H2O -> OH + HSO4
So if you increase OH, you increase the right hand side of the equation. Why wouldn't more Na2SO4 dissolve?
The answer states the Na2SO4 will precipitate out of solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
