1) Answer is: the minimum amount of reactant required of sulfuric acid is 522.49 moles.

Balanced chemical reaction:

BaCl₂ (aq) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → BaSO₄ (s) + 2HCl (aq).

n (BaCl₂) = 522.49 mol; amount of barium chloride.

From chemical reaction: n (BaCl₂) : n (H₂SO₄) = 1 : 1.

n (H₂SO₄) = n (BaCl₂).

n (H₂SO₄) = 522.49 mol; amount of sulfuric acid.

2) Answer is: mass of barium sulfate is 121949.16 grams.

From chemical reaction: n (BaCl₂) : n (BaSO₄) = 1 : 1.

n (BaSO₄) = n (BaCl₂).

n (BaSO₄) = 522.49 mol; amount of barium sulfate.

m (BaSO₄) = n (BaSO₄) · M (BaSO₄).

m (BaSO₄) = 522.49 mol · 233.4 g/mol.

m (BaSO₄) = 121949.16 g; mass of barium sulfate.

3) Answer is: mass of hydrochloric acid is 38089.52 grams.

From chemical reaction: n (BaCl₂) : n (HCl) = 1 : 2.

n (HCl) = 2 · n (BaCl₂).

n (HCl) = 2 · 522.49 mol.

n (HCl) = 1044.98 mol; amount of hydrochloric acid.

m (HCl) = n (HCl) · M (HCl).

m (HCl) = 1044.98 mol · 36.45 g/mol.

m (HCl) = 38089.52 g; mass of hydrochloric acid.
