Question

You have plenty of salts that are in front of you and you are trying to figure out which salts are soluble in water, and which ones of their products are soluble in water. For the following equation, identify which reactants and products are soluble/insoluble in water. H2SO4+ Ba(OH)2 =

Answer 1

Sulfuric acid is a strong acid, which means it can dissociate completely when dissolve in water. In other words, the reactant H2SO4 is completely soluble in water, otherwise, it wouldn't be a strong acid.

On other hand, the second reactant Ba(OH)2 is soluble in water because it's a strong base, which are bases that completely dissociate when dissolve in water.

Therefore, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is soluble in water and the barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) is also soluble in water.
