Question

BaCl2 and KOH. What is the balanced net precipitation reaction for this mixture?

Answer 1

BaCl2 and KOH :

BaCl2 + 2 KOH = Ba(OH)2 + 2 KCl

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer;

The balanced reaction would be;

BaCl2(aq) + 2 KOH(aq) = Ba(OH)2(s) + 2 KCl(aq)

Explanation;

-A precipitation reaction also referred to as double decomposition reactions occurs when two soluble salts such as barium chloride (BaCl2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) reacts to form an insoluble salt (Ba(OH)2).

-The insoluble salt produced falls out of the solution in the form of a precipitate, which is the reason as to why the reaction is known as precipitation.

-This type of reaction occurs when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form the precipitate.

That is; Ba²⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → Ba(OH)₂(s)
