Question

What is the balanced equation for
αHC2H3O2(aq)+βBa(OH)2(aq) →γH2O(l)+δBa(C2H3O2)2(aq)

Answer 1

α HC2H3O2 (aq) + β Ba(OH)2 (aq) → γ H2O (l) + δ Ba(C2H3O2)2 (aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

To balance the equation, you need to make sure that the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation are equal. The balanced equation for the reaction between α moles of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) and β moles of barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) to produce γ moles of water (H2O) and δ moles of barium acetate (Ba(C2H3O2)2) is:

α HC2H3O2 (aq) + β Ba(OH)2 (aq) → γ H2O (l) + δ Ba(C2H3O2)2 (aq)
