Achemist added an excess of sodium sulfate to a solution of a soluble barium compound to precipitate all of the barium ions as barium sulfate, baso4. how many grams of barium ions are in a 441-mg sample of the barium compound if a solution of the sample gave 403 mg baso4 precipitate? what is the mass percentage of barium compound?

  259.497 mg,   58.84%

Explanation:

BaSO₄ → Ba²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

to calculate the mole of BaSO₄

mole BaSO₄ = mass given / molar mass = 403 mg / 233.38 g/mol = 1.7268 mol

comparing the mole ratio

1.7268 mol of BaSO₄ yields 1.7268 mol of Ba²⁺

403 mg BaSO₄  yields     ( 1.7268 × 137.327 ) where 137.327 is the molar mass of Barium mol of Ba²⁺

441 mg BaSO₄  will yield   ( 1.7268 × 137.327  × 441 mg ) / 403 mg = 259 .497 mg

mas percentage of the Barium compound = 259 .497 mg / 441 mg × 100 = 58.84%

the answer would be b i believe

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
