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?

A student measures the mass of a sample of a metallic element, M. Then the student heats the sample in air, where it completely reacts to form the compound MO. The student measures the mass of the compound that was formed. Which of the following questions can be answered from the results of the experiment?

• What is the density of M?

• What is the molar mass of M?

• What is the melting point of M?

• What is the melting point of MO?
