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

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
