Solution
The correct option is DBaCl2, 11.65 g Na2SO4+BaCl2→2NaCl+BaSO4 Moles of Na2SO4 = 0.15 moles Moles of BaCl2 = 0.05 moles 1 mole of Na2SO4 reacts with 1 mole of BaCl2 0.15 moles of Na2SO4 will react with 0.15 moles of BaCl2 So, BaCl2 is the limiting reagent. As per the reaction, 1 mole of BaCl2 produces 1 mole of BaSO4 0.05 moles of BaCl2 will produce 0.05 moles of BaSO4 Amount of precipitate formed = moles of BaSO4 formed × Molar mass of BaSO4 Amount of precipitate formed = 0.05×233=11.65 g
