Solution

The correct option is D 42.6 %

Na2SO4+BaCl2BaSO4+2NaCl

Molecular weight of BaSO4=137+32+64=233

Molecular weight of Na2SO4=223+32+64=142

233gof BaSO4 is obtained from 142g of Na2SO4

6.99g of BaSO4 will be obtained from 142233×6.99 = 4.26g of Na2SO4

Percentage of Na2SO4 in 10g of mixture = 4.2610×100= 42.6%
