SUMMARY
The concentration of the Ba(OH)2 solution is calculated using the mass difference of the crucible containing the precipitate. The mass of Ba(OH)2 is determined to be 0.129 g, derived from the difference between the mass of the crucible with precipitate (17.539 g) and the empty crucible (17.410 g). The molar mass of Ba(OH)2 is 171.34 g/mol, allowing for the calculation of moles, which is approximately 0.000754 moles. Consequently, the concentration of the Ba(OH)2 solution is 0.0754 mol/L when converted to a 10 mL volume.
