Answer:
3.46 g of BaCl2
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) --------> 2NaCl(aq) + BaSO4(s)
Number of moles of barium sulphate produced = 3.88 g/233.38 g/mol = 0.0166 moles
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of BaCl2 yields 1 mole of barium sulphate
Hence 0.0166 moles of BaCl2 yields 0.0166 moles of barium sulphate
Hence;
Mass of BaCl2 required = 0.0166 moles × 208.23 g/mol = 3.46 g of BaCl2
