Calculate the mass of the residue resulting from the interaction of an excess of barium nitrate solution
Calculate the mass of the residue resulting from the interaction of an excess of barium nitrate solution with a solution containing 7.84 g of sulfuric acid.
Barium nitrate reacts with sulfuric acid. At the same time, a water-insoluble barium sulfate salt is synthesized, which turns into an insoluble precipitate. The reaction is described by the following chemical reaction equation.
Ba (NO3) 2 + H2SO4 = BaSO4 + 2HNO3;
Barium nitrate reacts with sulfuric acid in equal molar amounts. This synthesizes the same amount of insoluble barium sulfate.
Let’s determine the chemical amount of sulfuric acid.
M H2SO4 = 2 + 32 + 16 x 4 = 98 grams / mol; N H2SO4 = 7.84 / 98 = 0.08 mol;
The same amount of sulfuric acid will be used.
Barium sulfate will be obtained in the same molar amount.
Let’s calculate its weight.
M BaSO4 = 137 + 32 + 16 x 4 = 233 grams / mol; m BaSO4 = 0.08 x 233 = 18.64 grams
