The synthesis of barium sulfate was performed by dissolving 2.00 g of sodium sulfate in water and adding the solution to another solution prepared by dissolving 2.50 g of barium chloride in water. The
precipitate consisting of barium sulfate was filtered, washed, dried and weighed. The mass of the
precipitate was found to be 2.56 g.
Na SO.(aq) + BaCl2(aq) → BaSO.(s) + 2 NaCl(aq)
a) Calculate the moles of each reactant.

(newtons first law)

conservation of momentum law states :

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity

say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s

say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s

total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s

momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s

mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg

10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s

10 000/3 000 = velocity

3.33 m/s = velocity after collision

an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied
