You have 420 mL of an aqueous solution that is 0.39 M
Na2SO4 and a separate 185 mL aqueous solution
that is 0.45 M BaCl2.
a). How many moles of each of the four ions are present ?
Na+
SO42-
Ba2+
Cl-
b). When these two solutions are mixed together, what is the
chemical formula of the solid expected to precipitate from the
mixture?
c). If the sulfate ions in the mixed solution react with the
barium ions in the mixed solution to form a precipitate, how many
moles of Ba2+ ions are required to react with all of the
SO42- ions present?
d). If the barium ions in the mixed solution react with the sulfate
ions in the mixed solution to form a precipitate, how many moles of
SO42- ions are required to react with all of
the Ba2+ ions present?
e). Are barium ions or sulfate ions the limiting reactant in the
mixture?
f). How many grams of precipitate will form?
g). Draw chemical symbols of the ions that were spectators of this
process. Do the cation first, then the anion.
h). Will the mixture remaining after the precipitate formed be
electrolytic?
