Answer is: 3. 5.2x10-7.

Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation):

Ba₃ (PO₄) ₂ (s) → 3Ba²⁺ (aq) + 2PO₄³⁻ (aq).

[Ba²⁺ ] = 0,0005 M.

Ksp (Ba₃ (PO₄) ₂) = 3,4·10⁻²³.

Ksp = [Ba²⁺]³ · [PO₄³⁻]².

3,4·10⁻²³ = (0,0005 M) ³ · [PO₄³⁻]².

[PO₄³⁻] = √3,4·10⁻²³ : 1,25·10⁻¹⁰.

[PO₄³⁻] = 5,2·10⁻⁷ M.

Ksp is the solubility product constant for a solid substance dissolving in an aqueous solution.
