Calculate the mass of the sediment formed when draining 200 g of a 12.25% solution in sulfuric acid

Calculate the mass of the sediment formed when draining 200 g of a 12.25% solution in sulfuric acid with a solution of barium chloride

The reaction between sulfuric acid and barium chloride is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

BaCl2 + H2SO4 = BaSO4 + 2HCl;

In the interaction of 1 mol of barium chloride and 1 mol of sulfuric acid, 1 mol of insoluble barium sulfate is synthesized.

Let’s calculate the chemical amount of a substance that is contained in 200 grams of a 12.25% sulfuric acid solution.

M H2SO4 = 2 + 32 + 16 x 4 = 98 grams / mol;

N H2SO4 = 200 x 0.125 / 98 = 0.25 mol;

The same amount of barium sulfate will be synthesized.

Let’s calculate its weight.

M BaSO4 = 137 + 32 + 16 x 4 = 233 grams / mol;

m BaSO4 = 233 x 0.25 = 58.25 grams;
