Calcium sulfate is a sparingly soluble salt that can be made by mixing solutions containing calcium and sulfate ions. A $0.00100 \mathrm{mol} {\mathrm{dm}}^{-3}$ solution of aqueous calcium chloride, ${\mathrm{CaCl}}_2$ is mixed with an equal volume of $0.00100 \mathrm{mol} {\mathrm{dm}}^{-3}$ solution of aqueous sodium sulfate, ${\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$.

Calculate the concentration of calcium and sulfate ions when equal volumes of these solutions of calcium chloride and sodium sulfate are mixed.

(${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{sp}}$of calcium sulfate = $2.0 \mathrm{x} {10}^{-5} {\mathrm{mol}}^2 {\mathrm{dm}}^{-3}$)
