-
The above chemical equation represents the reaction process between Barium carbonate (BaCO3) and Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form Barium sulfate (BaSO4), Water (H2O) and Carbon dioxide (CO2).
-
In the above equation, BaCO3 and H2SO4 are the reactants, while BaSO4, H2O and CO2 are the products.
- Reaction conditions:
-
The reaction occurs when the two reactants come into contact with each other.
-
Temperature condition: The reaction occurs at room temperature or higher.
-
Light: Light is not required for the reaction to occur.
- Reaction Process:
-
BaCO3, when in contact with H2SO4, will be affected by this acid, decomposing to form BaSO4, H2O and CO2.
-
The reaction proceeds from left to right, transforming the reactants into products.
- Occurrences:
-
When Barium carbonate reacts with Sulfuric acid, it creates Carbon dioxide gas, which escapes, leading to the phenomenon of gas bubbles in the solution.
-
The solid Barium sulfate will precipitate, making the solution become cloudy.
