Question

What product(s) form in the following neutralization reaction? H2SO4 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) → A) 2H_20 (1) +BaSO_]4 (aq) B) 2H20 (1) +BaSO_4(s) C) 2H20 (1) D) BaSO4

Answer 1

B) 2H20 (1) +BaSO_4(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

The product formed in the given neutralization reaction is BaSO4 (s).

The balanced equation for the reaction is:

H2SO4 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) → 2H2O (l) + BaSO4 (s)

In this reaction, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) to form water (H2O) and barium sulfate (BaSO4). The balanced equation shows that for every 1 mole of sulfuric acid and 1 mole of barium hydroxide, 1 mole of water and 1 mole of barium sulfate are formed.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 2H2O (l) + BaSO4 (s).
