Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer
And what kind of help do you need?
Complete and balance the following neutralization reaction.
To write the chemical equation and identify the phases, we need to see if any reaction occurs between the two reactants, H2CO3(aq) and Ba(OH)2(aq).
To determine if a reaction occurs, we should first write out the reactants' formula and then check if any new compounds or substances are formed.
H2CO3(aq) is an aqueous solution of carbonic acid.
Ba(OH)2(aq) is an aqueous solution of barium hydroxide.
Now, let's examine the combination of these reactants to see what reaction takes place, if any.
The reaction between carbonic acid (H2CO3) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) can lead to the formation of water (H2O) and a salt called barium carbonate (BaCO3).
The chemical equation representing this reaction is:
H2CO3(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) → H2O(l) + BaCO3(s)
In this equation, (aq) represents the reactants and products that are in an aqueous solution, while (l) denotes a liquid phase, and (s) indicates a solid phase.
Thus, the answer can be expressed as:
H2CO3(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) → H2O(l) + BaCO3(s)
