2.5/2.13==208+18X/208
CROSS MULTIPLY
2.5*208=2.13(208+18X)
520=443.04+38.34
520-443.04=38.34X
76.96=38.34X
DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 38.34
76.96/38.34==2.00

it could also be like this

x= M (H - A)/18A

=233.33 ( 2.5-2.13 )/18×2.13
=2

where= 233.33 is the Molar mass of barium salt(BaSO4)
And 18= Molar mass of water H2O

Firstly you minus the mass of barium to the mass of anhydrous salt you will get 0.37 now to get the miles . Reacting mass divided by molar mass equals to 0.37/208 = 1.77 approximately 2

Why is there no explanation for the solving?

2.5+2.13=4.63
Therefore 4.63/208=0.0223*100=2.2 approximately 2//
