Find the mass (in grams) of 1.5 moles of BaSO4

350 g BaSO₄

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Stoichiometry

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

1.5 mol BaSO₄

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Ba - 137.33 g/mol

Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of BaSO₄ - 137.33 + 32.07 + 4(16.00) = 233.4 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

= 350.1 g BaSO₄

Step 4: Check

We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

350.1 g BaSO₄ ≈ 350 g BaSO₄

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
