Answer:
she should not have multiplied the sulfur atoms by the subscript 4
Explanation:
Your answer is probably
Vaporization point
<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>
To determine what gas is this, we use Graham's Law of Effusion where it relates the rates of effusion of gases and their molar masses. We do as follows:
r1/r2 = √(M2 / M1)
Let 1 be the the unkown gas and 2 the H2 gas.
r1/r2 = 0.225
M2 = 2.02 g/mol
0.225 = √(2.02 / M1)
M1 = 39.90 g/mol
From the periodic table of elements, most likely, the gas is argon.
