The kind of reaction that occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of barium sulfide and sulfuric acid is a precipitation reaction.
<h3>Further Explanation</h3>
- The chemical reaction between Ba(OH)2(aq) and H2SO4(aq) is given by;
Ba(OH)₂(aq) + H₂SO4(aq) --> BaSO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
- This is a type of precipitation reaction, where a precipitate is formed after the reaction, that is Barium sulfate.
<h3>Other types of reaction</h3><h3>Neutralization reactions </h3>
- These are reactions that involve reacting acids and bases or alkali to form salt and water as the only products.
- For example a reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.
NaOH(aq) + H₂SO₄(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)
<h3>Displacement reactions</h3>
- These are reactions in which a more reactive atom or ion displaces a less reactive ion from its salt.
Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
<h3>Redox reactions </h3>
- These are reactions that involve both reduction and oxidation occuring simultaneously durin a chemical reaction.
- For example,
Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)
- Magnesium atom undergoes oxidation while copper ions undergoes reduction.
<h3>Decomposition reactions</h3>
- These are type of reactions that involves breakdown of a compound into its constituents elements.
- For example decomposition of lead nitrate.
Pb(NO3)2(S) → PbO(s) + O2(g) + NO2(g)

the second statement is the correct one quarks are needed to balance charges in all subatomic particles such as neutrons, protons and electrons
For the chemical reactiom to be at equilibrium:
1- The rate of forward reaction must be equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
2- The mass of EACH element must be equal before and after the reaction (no NET change in mass), otherwise the equilibrium will shift.
Important note: you need to check the mass of each element before and after the reaction (i.e, reactants side and products side) and the not the mass of the system as a whole. This is because the mass of the whole system will be preserved whether the system is at equilibrium or not (this is the fundamental law of mass conservation)
