Question

identify the reactants and product in the following chemical reaction equation. ba(oh)₂ + h₂so₄ ⟹ baso₄ + 2h₂o barium hydroxide choose sulfuric acid choose reactant product barium sulfate choose water choose

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Reactant/Product Definition

Reactants are on the left of the arrow ($\implies$) in a chemical equation; products are on the right.

Step2: Analyze Each Substance

• Barium hydroxide ($Ba(OH)_2$): Left of arrow $\implies$ reactant.
• Sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$): Left of arrow $\implies$ reactant.
• Barium sulfate ($BaSO_4$): Right of arrow $\implies$ product.
• Water ($H_2O$): Right of arrow (with coefficient 2) $\implies$ product.

Answer:

• barium hydroxide: reactant
• sulfuric acid: reactant
• barium sulfate: product
• water: product
