Calculate the mass of the sediment, which will result from the interaction of 200 grams
Calculate the mass of the sediment, which will result from the interaction of 200 grams of a 4.9% sulfuric acid solution with barium nitrate.
The reaction between sulfuric acid and barium nitrate is described by the following chemical reaction equation:
Ba (NO3) 2 + H2SO4 = BaSO4 + 2HNO3;
When 1 mol of barium nitrate and 1 mol of sodium sulfuric acid interact, 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 4.9% sulfuric acid solution.
M H2SO4 = 2 + 32 + 16 x 4 = 98 grams / mol;
N H2SO4 = 200 x 0.049 / 98 = 0.1 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 0.1 = 23.3 grams;
