<span>Two scientists wrote a paper detailing their research and conclusions and submitted it to a scientific journal. Several months later, they received the paper back from the publisher with many comments attached from several fellow scientists. It is either that they revise their study or replicate the study. Most scientists would revisit their work and the findings they had from their research. Most probable if they were successful and the comments of the publisher and the co-scientists were positive they could replicate the study to validate its accountability.<span>

The balanced equation is
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 ==> BaSO4 + 2 NaCl
Looking at the equation, it indicates that there's a 1 to 1 ratio of BaCl2 and Na2SO4 in the reaction. So the number of moles of each will be equal. Now calculate the number of moles of Na2SO4 we had. Start by looking up atomic weights.
Atomic weight sodium = 22.989769
Atomic weight sulfur = 32.065
Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass Na2SO4 = 2 * 22.989769 + 32.065 + 4 * 15.999 = 142.040538 g/mol
Moles Na2SO4 = 0.554 g / 142.040538 g/mol = 0.003900295 mol
Molarity is defined as moles per liter, so let's do the division.
0.003900295 mol / 0.0568 l = 0.068667165 mol/l = 0.068667165 m
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.0687 m</span>
