When a solution of barium nitrate and a solution of copper (II) sulfate are mixed, a chemical reaction produces solid barium sulfate, which sinks to the bottom, and a solution of copper (II) nitrate. Suppose some barium nitrate is dissolved in 120.00 g of water and 8.15 g of copper (II) sulfate is dissolved in 75.00 g of water. The solutions are poured together, and a white solid forms. After the solid is filtered off, it is found to have a mass of 10.76 g. The mass of the solution that passed through the filter is 204.44 g. What mass of barium nitrate was used in the reaction?
