Solution
The correct option is C45.6g Let, the mass of BaCl2 be xg
According to the equation, BaCl2xg+Na2SO424.4g→BaSO446.6g+2NaCl23.4g
According to law of conservation of mass, Total mass of reactants=Total mass of products...(i) Total mass of reactants=(x+24.4) g Total mass of products=(46.6+23.4) g
Substituting in equation (i) x+24.4=46.6+23.4x=46.6+23.4−24.4⇒x=45.6g
Hence, the weight of BaCl2 is 45.6g.
