You placed 6.35 g of a mixture containing unknown amounts of BaO(s) and MgO(s) in a 3.50-L flask containing CO₂(g) at 30.0°C and 750. torr. The solid BaO and MgO in the flask completely reacted to form BaCO₃(s) and MgCO₃(s), respectively. After the reactions to form BaCO₃(s) and MgCO₃(s) were completed, the pressure of CO₂(g) remaining was 125 torr, still at 30.0°C. Calculate the mass of BaO(s) in the initial mixture in grams. (Assume ideal gas behavior).
