Chapter 4, Problem 112AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mass of the solid produced by the reaction of $\text{500}\text{.0}\text{mL}$ of $\text{0}\text{.200}\text{M}$ sodium phosphate and $\text{400}\text{.0}\text{mL}$ of $\text{0}\text{.289}\text{M}$ barium chloride is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Precipitation reaction occurs among two distinct soluble salts results in generation of one insoluble salt which is also called precipitate. It falls in the category of double displacement reactions. The precipitate’s amount generated entirely depends on moles of that soluble salt which has lower amount that is the salt which performs the work of limiting reagent.
