The solubility product of CaSO4 in water is , Ksp = 7.1 x 10-5
CaSO4 Ca 2+ + SO42-
Let S be the solubility of CaSO4
Then [Ca2+ ]= S
[SO42- ] = S
Solubility product , Ksp = [Ca2+ ] [SO42- ]
= S x S
= S2
Molar mass of CaSO4 is = 40+32+(4x16)= 136 gmol-1
So solubility , S = 136 x 8.43x10 -3 g/L
= 1.146 g/ L
