Consider dissolving the barium nitrate in nitric acid HNO3, a strong acid (it reacts completely with water to form hydronium and nitrate ions), instead of water. Does the nitric acid influence the barium nitrate’s solubility equilibrium? If so, how, and will this cause more or less barium nitrate to dissolve in the solution?
