The Ba(OH)2 dissociates as Ba+2 + 2 OH-. H2SO4 dissociates as 2 H+ + SO4 -2.

Write a balanced equation for this reaction.

The balanced equations for those dissociations are:

Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

H₂SO₄ (aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄⁻²(aq)

Explanation:

As a strong base, the barium hidroxide gives OH⁻ to the solution

As a strong acid, the sulfuric acid gives H⁺ to the solution

Ba(OH)₂, is a strong base so the dissociation is complete.

H₂SO₄ is considerd a strong acid, but only the first deprotonation is strong.

The second proton that is released, has a weak dissociation.

H₂SO₄ (aq) → H⁺(aq) + HSO₄⁻(aq)

HSO₄⁻(aq) ⇄ H⁺ (aq) + SO₄⁻² (aq)       Ka

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
