Part B (Comprehensive Questions: 20 points)

36.A 1.345 g sample of a compound of barium and oxygen was dissolved in hydrochloric acid to give a solution of barium ion, which was then precipitated with an excess of potassium chromate to give 2.012 g of barium chromate, BaCrO₄.  What is the formula of the compound?(4 points)

37a. Phenol, commonly known as carbolic acid, was used by Joseph Lister as an antiseptic for surgery in 1865.  Its principle use today is the manufacture of phenolic resins and plastics.  Combustion of 5.23 mg of phenol yields 14.67 mg CO₂ and 3.01 mg H₂O.  Phenol contains only C, H, and O.  What is the percentage of each element in this substance?(2 points)

37.b.How many milliliters of 0.250 M KMnO4 are needed to react with 4.40 g of iron(II) sulfate, FeSO₄? (Hint: Volumetric analysis)

The reaction is as follows:

10FeSO₄(aq) + 2KMnO₄(aq) + 8H₂SO₄(aq)   

5Fe₂(SO₄)₃(aq) + 2MnSO₄(aq) + K₂SO₄(aq) + 8H₂O(l)
