What is the reaction of acetic acid and barium hydroxide?

Answer 1

2 CH3COOH + Ba(OH)2 --> Ba(C2H3O2)2 + 2H2O

To make it less clustered, you can use Ac for C2H3O2.

2 HAc + Ba(OH)2 --> Ba(Ac)2 + 2H2O

The acetic acid reacts with the base barium hydroxide to form the salt barium acetate and water.

Answer 2

Barium chloride and acetic acid don't react. The reaction would be

BaCl2 + 2 HOAc -> Ba(OAc)2 + 2 HCl

but that doesn't happen because hydrochloric acid is a much stronger acid than acetic acid is.

Answer 3

This is an acid/base or neutralization reaction. The standard form is:

HA + BOH ---> AB + HOH (acid plus base yields salt plus water)

For the specific reaction you are showing, the equation is:

2HC2H3O2 + Ba(OH)2 ---> Ba(C2H3O2)2 + 2H2O

Answer 4

The complete equation is:

Ba(OH)2 (aq) + 2 HC2H3O2 (aq) -> Ba(C2H3O2)2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

Barium hydroxide and barium acetate are soluble ionic compounds, so they are written as separate ions in ionic equations. Acetic acid is a weak acid, so we don't write it as separate ions.

The complete ionic equation is:

Ba2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) + 2 HC2H3O2 (aq) -> Ba2+ (aq) + 2 C2H3O2- (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

Barium ions are the only spectators in this equation, so the net ionic equation is:

2 OH- (aq) + 2 HC2H3O2 (aq) -> 2 C2H3O2- (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

which simplifies to:

OH- (aq) + HC2H3O2 (aq) -> C2H3O2- (aq) + H2O (l)

Answer 5

2HI + Ba(OH)2 --> 2H2O +BaI2

Two molecules of hydroiodic acid and one molecule of barium hydroxide forms two molecules of water and one molecule of barium iodide.

Answer 6

Barium hydroxide + Acetic acid ----> Barium acetate + Water

Ba(OH)2 + 2 CH3COOH ----> (CH3COO)2Ba + 2H2O

Answer 7

none
