Chapter 4, Problem 118AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The diagram corresponding to the reaction between ${\text{Ba(OH)}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ is to be identified. A balanced chemical equation for the same is also to be written.

Concept Introduction:

A solution is defined as the homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.

An ionic bond involves electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charges.

Ions are atoms that have gained or lost one or more electrons.

Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, while anions are formed by gaining electrons.

A balanced chemical equation shows the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of arrows.

Balancing of chemical equations is done on the basis of ‘The Law of Conservation of Mass’.
