if we did not use an excess of the BaCl2 solution it would decrease the mass percentage of sulfate in the unknown sample.
The net precipitation equation would be.
Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → BaSO4(s)
If BaCl2 (Ba2+) is not taken in excess then the precipitation would not be completed as some of the sulfate ions would still be remaining in the solution. This would decrease the mass percentage of sulfate in the unknown sample.
If some tiny pieces of filter paper still remained mixed with the precipitate(BaSO4) then the mass of sulfate would increase and it gives a high mass percentage of the sulfate.
mass percentage of sulfate = (mass of sulfate/mass of sample)*100

Explanation:

If an atom of an element has a mass number of 45 and it has 20 neutrons in its nucleus, what is the atomic number of the
element?
If two different elements combine separately with a fixed mass of a third element, the ratio of the masses in which they do so are either the same as or a simple multiple of the ratio of the masses in which they combine with each other.
1) 1 molecules
2) 2 oxygen atoms
3)2 moles of Al2O3 are formed
4)4:3
Answer:
The age of the sample is 4224 years.
Explanation:
Let the age of the sample be t years old.
Initial mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact = 100%
Initial mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = ![[A_o]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_o%5D)
Final mass percentage of carbon-14 in an artifact t years = 60%
Final mass of carbon-14 in an artifact = ![[A]=0.06[A_o]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D0.06%5BA_o%5D)
Half life of the carbon-14 = 
![[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-kt%7D)
![[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-%5Cfrac%7B0.693%7D%7Bt_%7B1%2F2%7D%7D%5Ctimes%20t%7D)
![0.60[A_o]=[A_o]\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{5730 year}\times t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.60%5BA_o%5D%3D%5BA_o%5D%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-%5Cfrac%7B0.693%7D%7B5730%20year%7D%5Ctimes%20t%7D)
Solving for t:
t = 4223.71 years ≈ 4224 years
The age of the sample is 4224 years.
