Reaction conditions:
This reaction belongs to the type of ion exchange reactions in solution, taking place at room temperature and does not require special pressure conditions.
- Reaction process:
When barium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid in solution come into contact with each other, they will exchange ions. Specifically, the Ba2+ ion from Ba(OH)2 will combine with 2 Cl- ions from 2 mols of HCl to form BaCl2, while the 2 OH- ions from Ba(OH)2 will combine with 2 H+ ions from 2 mols of HCl to form 2H2O.
- Phenomenon occurred:
When Ba(OH)2 reacts with HCl, we observe that the solution becomes clear. This is a sign that BaCl2 has been formed. At the same time, the solution no longer contains free OH- ions, indicating that all Ba(OH)2 has reacted.
