A solution containing 1.63 grams BaCl2 is added to a solution containing 2.40 grams of Na2CrO4
and reacts according the equation BaCl2 + Na2CrO4 → BaCrO4 + 2 NaCl
How many grams of BaCrO4 can be formed?

Respuesta :

1.98 g many grams of [tex]BaCrO_4[/tex] can be formed if a solution containing 1.63 grams [tex]BaCl_2[/tex] is added to a solution containing 2.40 grams of [tex]Na_2CrO_4[/tex].

What are moles?

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × [tex]10^{23}[/tex]of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

[tex]BaCl_2 + Na_2CrO_4[/tex][tex]\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]BaCrO_4 + 2 NaCl[/tex]

Mass of [tex]BaCl_2[/tex] = 1.63 g

Molar mass of [tex]BaCl_2[/tex] = 208.23 g/mol

Moles of [tex]BaCl_2[/tex] = 1.63/ 208.23 = 0.0078 mol

Mass of [tex]Na_2CrO_4[/tex] = 2.40 g

Molar mass of [tex]Na_2CrO_4[/tex] = 161.97 g/mol

Moles of [tex]Na_2CrO_4[/tex]= [tex]\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}[/tex]

Moles of [tex]Na_2CrO_4[/tex] =[tex]\frac{2.40}{161.97 }[/tex]

=0.0148 mol

From the balanced equation mole ratio of [tex]BaCl_2[/tex] : [tex]Na_2CrO_4[/tex] = 1:1

But here, moles of [tex]BaCl_2[/tex] < moles of [tex]Na_2CrO_4[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]BaCl_2[/tex] is the limiting reagent.

From the balanced equation above it is clear that 1 mol of[tex]BaCl_2[/tex] reacts with 1 mol of [tex]Na_2CrO_4[/tex] to give1 mol of [tex]BaCrO_4[/tex].

Therefore, 0.0078 mol of [tex]BaCl_2[/tex] will produce 0.0078 mol of [tex]BaCrO_4[/tex].

Molar mass of [tex]BaCrO_4[/tex] = 253.37 g/mol

Therefore, the mass of [tex]BaCrO_4[/tex] can be formed = 0.0078 x 253.37 = 1.98 g
