Question

Calculate the density of barium sulfate ($\text{BaSO}_{4}$) with a molecular weight of 233.39 g/mol, assuming a sample with a mass of 5 g occupies a volume of 3 mL.

Answer 1

To calculate the density of barium sulfate, we can use the formula:Density = Mass / VolumeWe are given the mass  5 g  and volume  3 mL  of the sample. Density =  5 g  /  3 mL Density = 1.67 g/mLTherefore, the density of the barium sulfate sample is 1.67 g/mL.
