Answer:
the real tricky one question
Explanation:
The total mass of the products is 10.76 g + 204.44 g = 215.20 g.
The masses of all the reactants but one are known so,
215.20 g - 120.00 g - 8.15 g - 75.00 g = 12.05 g
12.05 g is the mass of the unweighed barium nitrate.
Ionic bonds are formed when one of the two atoms that are reacting has excess electrons and transfer the electrons to the atom that is deficient in electrons. During the formation of the ionic bond, one of the reacting atoms will donate electrons and form positive ion.
