Which of the following is the correct balanced equation for the neutralization of barium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid? Ba(OH)2 + 2 HCl → BaCl2 + 2 H2O BaOH2 + 2 HCl → BaCl2 + H2O BaOH + HCl → BaCl + H2O Ba(OH)2 + HCl → BaCl2 + H2O

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct answer is [tex]Ba(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow BaCl_2+2H_2O[/tex]

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and also releases water molecule.

The general equation for this reaction follows:

[tex]BOH+HX\rightarrow BX+H_2O[/tex]

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of barium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid follows:

[tex]Ba(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow BaCl_2+2H_2O[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of barium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mole of barium chloride and 2 moles of water molecule.
