The equation is not balanced. The balanced equation is: Ba(NO3)2 + 2KOH -> K2NO3 + Ba(OH)2.
This reaction involves the following substances:
-
Ba(NO3)2: Barium nitrate, is a colorless and odorless compound. It is highly soluble in water but insoluble in ethyl acetate.
-
KOH: Potassium hydroxide, a white solid compound, easily soluble in water, producing a strong alkali solution.
-
K2NO3: Potassium nitrate, is a white solid substance, forming a solution in water.
-
Ba(OH)2: Barium hydroxide, is a white solid substance, soluble in water to produce a strong alkali solution.
- Reaction Conditions:
This reaction occurs at room temperature and standard pressure.
- Reaction Process:
This reaction is an ion exchange reaction, where barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) interact to produce potassium nitrate (K2NO3) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2).
- Observed Phenomena:
