Answer:
The percent composition of barium in barium chloride is 65.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
percent composition = molar weight of barium/molar weight of barium chloride x 100
from periodic table the molar weight of barium = 137.3
and the molar weight of BaCl2 = 137.3 +( 35.5 x 2)=208.3
% composition is therefore = 137.3/208.3 x 100=65.9%
