Barium reacts with water to produce barium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. How many moles of barium hydroxide are produced when 250.0 mL of water is consumed? (NOTE: water is in the liquid state. Assume the density of water is 1.00 g/mL) What is the total number of moles of ions from barium hydroxide produced in this reaction?

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
