Question
In a double displacement reaction, 100 mL of 0.3 M BaCl₂ is mixed with 150 mL of 0.2 M Na₂SO₄. Moles of BaSO₄ precipitate formed are:
- A0.03 mol
- B0.03 mol (BaCl₂ limits)Correct
- C0.02 mol (Na₂SO₄ limits)
- D0.05 mol
Correct answer
0.03 mol (BaCl₂ limits)
Explanation
n(BaCl₂) = 0.1×0.3 = 0.03 mol. n(Na₂SO₄) = 0.15×0.2 = 0.03 mol. Equal moles → both exactly consumed. BaSO₄ = 0.03 mol.
