SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the molecular weights and stoichiometric requirements for the reaction between Barium Chloride (BaCl2) and Sodium Fluoride (NaF) to produce Barium Fluoride (BaF2) and Sodium Chloride (NaCl). The molecular weight of BaF2 is established as 173.31 g/mol, leading to the conclusion that 0.57 moles of BaF2 requires 0.57 moles of BaCl2 and 1.14 moles of NaF. This translates to 118.77 grams of BaCl2 and 47.89 grams of NaF needed to produce the desired amount of BaF2.
