Question

Which base NH4OH or Ba(OH)2 required more H2SO4 to reach neutralization ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ba(OH)₂ requires more H₂SO₄ to reach neutralization..

Explanation:

• At neutralization, acid neutralize base to form salt and water at equivalence.

• For NH₄OH:

• NH₄OH is neutralized by H₂SO₄ according to the reaction:

2NH₄OH + H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.

It is clear that every 2 mol of NH₄OH need 1 mol of H₂SO₄ to be neutralized.

• For Ba(OH)₂:

• Ba(OH)₂ is neutralized by H₂SO₄ according to the reaction:

Ba(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2H₂O.

It is clear that every 1 mol of NH₄OH needs 1 mol of H₂SO₄ to be neutralized.

So, Ba(OH)₂ requires more H₂SO₄ to reach neutralization.
