Write the equation for the neutralization reaction in which barium chloride is the salt formed. Show the reaction in which the fully protonated acid reacts with the base to form the salt indicated. Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states of matter.)

2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

In a complete neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base to form neutral salt and water. To form barium chloride, hydrochloric acid (acid) reacts with barium hydroxide  (base). The balanced chemical equation is:

2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O

8 carbon atoms forming single bonds with 18 hydrogen atoms; a triple bond exists between the third and fourth carbon atom from the right
