Key Terms
The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the percent yield produced of the reaction
of BaCl2 and H2SO4. Next, the melting point of Barium Chloride would be determined
by digital melting point apparatus.
Procedure
Materials
BaCl2
H2SO4
50 mL Beakers
Funnel
Filter paper
balance
Pipet
Distilled water
Boiling point measuring apparatus
Data
Analysis
The percent yield was calculated from the following law. The practical results would
always be less than the actual.
Discussion
The reaction of BaCl2 and H2SO4 is considered one of the common participation
reactions. The error in the percent yield could be from handling the materials and some
of the solution was hard to remove form the filter paper. The melting point was
determined by M.P apparatus after following the steps to turn it on. To avoid errors in
this step, the observation of the sample should be accurate enough to follow the phase
transition of the measured sample.
Conclusion
The reaction of barium chloride (BaCl2) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) forms hydrochloric
acid (HCl) and a precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSO4). Then, the melting point of BaCl2
(powder) could be determined by measuring the M.P of the yield using the M.P
apparatus.
