The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:
A chemist adds 200.0 ml of a 0.52M barium chlorate (Ba(CIO3)2) solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of barium chlorate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.
Answer:
The correct answer is 32 grams.
Explanation:
Based on the given solution, the molarity of barium chlorate solution given is 0.52 M, this shows that the solution will comprise 0.52 moles in 1 L or 1000 ml of the solution.
Therefore, in 200 ml, it will comprise 0.52/1000 × 200 moles of Ba(ClO₃)₂,
= 0.52/1000 × 200 = 0.104 moles
The molecular mass of Ba(ClO₃)₂ is 304.23 gram per mole
So, the mass of Ba(ClO₃)₂ in 0.104 moles will be,
= 304.23 g/mol × 0.104
= 31.639 grams or 32 grams.
