Question

The maximum amount of $BaSO_4$ precipitated on mixing $BaCl_2 (0.5 M)$ with $H_2SO_4$(1 M) will correspond to

• A. 0.5 M
• B. 0.1M
• C. 1.5 M
• D. 2.0 M

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

0.5 M

Answer 2

$0.5\,M$ $BaCl_{2}$ will react with $0.5\,M$ $H_{2}SO_{4}$ $BaCl_{2}+H_{2}SO_{4} \to BaSO_{4}+2HCl$ Here $BaCl_{2}$ is a limiting reactant $\therefore BaSO_{4}$ produced $= 0.5 \,M$
