Solution

Given,
Molarity of BaCl2=2.05M
Volume of BaCl2=1L
Molarity of H2SO4=1M
Volume of H2SO4=1L
Moles of BaCl2=2.05M×1L=2.05 moles
Moles of H2SO4=1M×1L=1 mole
The reaction involved is
BaCl2+H2SO4BaSO4+2HCl
It is clear that, 1 mole BaCl2 consume 1 mole H2SO4 to produce 1 mole BaSO4.
2.05 moles of BaCl2 consume 2.05 moles of H2SO4 to produce 2.05 moles BaSO4 but only 1 mole of H2SO4 is provided
H2SO4 here is limiting reagent.
1 mole H2SO4 consumes 1 mole BaCl2 and produces 1 mole BaSO4 according to above reaction.
1 mole BaSO4 is maximum produced here.
