<span>BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl
There is 1.0g of BaCl2 and 1.0g of Na2SO4, which is the limiting reagent?
"First convert grams into moles"
1.0g BaCl2 * (1 mol BaCl2 / 208.2g BaCl2) = 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2
1.0g Na2SO4 * (1 mol Na2SO4 / 142.04g Na2SO4) = 7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4
(7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 / 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 ) = 1.5 mol Na2SO4 / mol BaCl2
"From this ratio compare it to the equation, BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl"
The equation shows that for every mol of BaCl2 requires 1 mol of Na2SO4. But we found that there is 1.5 mol of Na2SO4 per mol of BaCl2. Therefore, BaCl2 is the limiting reagent.</span>
%error = |(original value - mistaken value)| / original value * 100%
Original value = 1.2 x 10^-12
Mistaken value = 1.7 x 10^-10
%error = | [(1.2 x 10^-12) - (1.7 x 10^-10)] | / 1.2 x 10^-12 x 100%
%error = (1.688 x 10^-10 / 1.2 x 10^-12) x 100%
%error = 1.172222222 x 10^17
