Solution
The correct option is A29.25 mL S⟶BaSO4⟶BaCl2
Therefore, equal moles of sulphur and barium chloride are involved in the reactions.
Weight of sulphur present =0.12×0.6=0.072 BaCl2 required by 0.072 g sulphur to be precipitated asBaSO4=20832×0.072=0.468 g. Thus, volume of BaCl2 solution =0.468×1001.6=29.25 mL.
