Question

Consider a mixture of the two solids, BaCl∙ 2H2O (FM 244.26) and KCl (FM 74.551). When the mixture is heated to 160°C for 1 h, the water of crystallization is driven off:

BaCl2 ∙ 2H2O(s)       BaCl2(s)  +  2H2O(g)

A sample originally weighing 1.7839 g weighed 1.5623 g after heating.  Calculate wt% Ba, K, and Cl in the original sample.  (Hint: The mass loss tells how much water was lost, which tells how much BaCl2 ∙ 2H2O was present.  The remainder of the sample is KCl.)
