In the chemical reaction given below, find the amount of barium sulphate formed. Also write the law involved
Let the amount of barium sulphate is “x”g
The given reaction is:
According to law of conservation of mass,
Amount of reactants = Amount of products formed
Hence, 20.8g + 14.2g = x + 11.7g
⇒ 35g = x + 11.7g
⇒ x = 23.5g
Thus, the amount of barium sulphate is 23.5g.
The law involved is Law of conservation of mass which states that
the sum of the masses of reactants and products remain unchanged.
