Gravimetric Analysis
« on: January 09, 2008, 08:28:15 AM »
A 0.500g sample of sodium sulfate and a 0.500g sample of aluminium sulfate were dissolved in a volume of water and excess barium chloride added to precipitate barium sulfate. What was the total mass of barium sulfate produced?

Considering excess BaCl2 being added, I guess you can work out the amount of BaSO4 formed by writing the balanced chemical reaction. Knowing the molecular weights of the salts would also come handy...
