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

The correct answer is

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:

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

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.
