Solution
The correct option is D0.25 mole The reactions for the processes are
S + O2⟶SO2
Moles of sulfur is 832=0.25mole
SO2 + Cl2 +2H2O⟶H2SO4 + 2HCl
H2SO4 + BaCl2⟶BaSO4 + 2HCl
Here, 0.25 moles of S will produce 0.25 moles of SO2 which is consumed in next reaction and gives 0.25 moles of H2SO4 which in the third reaction gives 0.25 moles of BaSO4. So, moles of BaSO4 precipitated is 0.25.
