STEP 1   State the given and needed quantities.

ANALYZE THE PROBLEM Given Need Connect
0.0325 L of 0.160 M Na_{2}SO_{4} solution, 0.250 M BaCl_{2} solution milliliters of BaCl_{2} solution mole-mole factor
Equation
Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq) + BaCl_{2}(aq) → BaSO_{4}(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

STEP 2 Write a plan to calculate the needed quantity.

liters  of  Na_{2}SO_{4}  solution   \boxed{Molarity} →   moles  of  Na_{2}SO_{4}      \boxed{\begin{array}{l}mole-mole \\ factor\end{array}} →      moles  of  BaCl_{2}     \boxed{Molarity} →    liters  of  BaCl_{2} solution       \boxed{\begin{array}{l}Metric\\factor\end{array}}→    milliliters  of  BaCl_{2}  solution

STEP 3 Write equalities and conversion factors including mole-mole and concentration factors.

\begin{array}{r c}\boxed{\begin{matrix} 1  L  of  solution = 0.160  mole  of  Na_{2}SO_{4} \\\frac{0.160  mole  Na_{2}SO_{4}}{1  L  solution } \text{ and } \frac{1  L  solution}{0.160  mole  Na_{2}SO_{4}} \end{matrix}} & \boxed{\begin{matrix} 1  mole  of  Na_{2}SO_{4}= 1  mole  of  BaCl_{2} \\ \frac{1  mole  Na_{2}SO_{4}}{ 1  mole  BaCl_{2}}\text{ and }\frac{1  mole  BaCl_{2}}{1  mole  Na_{2}SO_{4}} \end{matrix}}\end{array}

 

\begin{array}{r c}\boxed{\begin{matrix} 1  L  of  solution = 0.250  mole  of  BaCl_{2}\\\frac{0.250  mole  BaCl_{2}}{1  L  solution } \text{ and } \frac{1  L  solution}{0.250  mole  BaCl_{2}} \end{matrix}} & \boxed{\begin{matrix}1  L = 1000  mL \\ \frac{1000  mL}{ 1  L }\text{ and }\frac{1  L }{1000  mL} \end{matrix}}\end{array}

STEP 4   Set up the problem to calculate the needed quantity.

0.0325   \cancel{L  solution}     \times    \boxed{\frac{0.160  \cancel{mole  Na_{2}SO_{4}}}{1  \cancel{L  solution}} }   \times    \boxed{\frac{1  \cancel{mole  BaCl_{2}}}{1  \cancel{ mole  Na_{2}SO_{4}}} }   \times    \boxed{\frac{1  \cancel{L  solution}}{0.250  \cancel{ mole  BaCl_{2}}} }    \boxed{\frac{1000  mL  BaCl_{2}  solution }{1  \cancel{L  solution}} }

 

= 20.8  mL  of  BaCl_{2} solution
