HCl(aq) and Ba*2(OH)
« on: February 22, 2006, 01:00:15 AM »
This is my first post so I guess Hi to all! Just wondering if somebody could check my work on this, please.

HCL(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) in a neutralisation reaction

H+ + Cl- + Ba2+ + 2OH- -> BaCl2 + H2O        : opposites attract

2HCL(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) -> BaCl2 + 2H2O   :balanced equation

And then, because Barium Chloride can be ionized in water and swipe an H+, the arrow becomes bidirectional. so the final equation should look something like this:

2HCL(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) <-> BaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(liq)  ?

Does this look right or am I still missing something here? ???

H+ + Cl- + Ba2+ + 2OH- -> BaCl2 + H2O
If you write down reaction in ionic form it should be
H+ + Cl- + Ba2+ + 2OH- -> Ba2+ + 2Cl- + H2O
