Are you sure mean barium peroxide, BaO2, and not barium oxide, BaO.

Explanation:

BaO2(s)+H2SO4(aq)BaSO4+H2O2(aq)

This used to be used as an industrial method to make hydrogen peroxide.

So moles of barium peroxide = 58.5g169.33gmol1 = 0.345mol.

We need 1 equiv sulfuric acid.

If 0.275molL1 sulfuric acid is available, we need 0.345mol0.275molL1×1000mLL1 = 1255mL.
