A student obtains a 10.0g sample of a white powder labeled as BaCl₂. After completely dissolving the powder in 50.0mL of distilled water, the student adds excess Na₂SO₄(s), which causes a precipitate of BaSO₄(s) to form, as represented by the equation above. The student filters the BaSO₄(s), rinses it, and dries it until its mass is constant. Which of the following scientific questions could best be answered based on the results of the experiment?

• Is the Na₂SO₄(s) used in the experiment pure?

• Is the BaCl₂(s) used in the experiment pure?

• What is the molar solubility of BaCl₂ in water?

• What is the molar solubility of BaSO₄ in water?
