A chemist adds of a M barium chlorate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of barium chlorate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A chemist adds 200.0 ml of a 0.52M barium chlorate (Ba(CIO3)2) solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of barium chlorate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.

The correct answer is 32 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given solution, the molarity of barium chlorate solution given is 0.52 M, this shows that the solution will comprise 0.52 moles in 1 L or 1000 ml of the solution.  

Therefore, in 200 ml, it will comprise 0.52/1000 × 200 moles of Ba(ClO₃)₂,  

= 0.52/1000 × 200 = 0.104 moles

The molecular mass of Ba(ClO₃)₂ is 304.23 gram per mole

So, the mass of Ba(ClO₃)₂ in 0.104 moles will be,  

= 304.23 g/mol × 0.104

= 31.639 grams or 32 grams.
