The concentration of #"IO"_3^(-)# ions in a pure, saturated solution of #"Ba"("IO"_3)_2# is #1.06xx10^(-3)"M"#. What is the #K_(sp)# for #"Ba"("IO"_3)_2#?
The dissociation equilibrium for barium iodate in aqueous solution looks like this
This means that in a saturated barium iodate solution, the concentration of iodate anions will be twice as high as the concentration of barium cations.
This means that the latter will be equal to
Plug in your values to find
Solubility product constants are usually given without added units, which means that you answer is
The answer is rounded to three sig figs.

[ K_{\text{sp}} = [Ba^{2+}][IO_3^-]^2 ]
[ K_{\text{sp}} = (4 \times 1.06 \times 10^{-3})^2 ]
[ K_{\text{sp}} = 4.49 \times 10^{-6} ]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
