Question

What is the neutralization reaction with the combination H3BO3 and BaOH?

Answer 1

Thanks for your question on neutralization reactions. In general, neutralization reactions occur between acids and bases. The products are always a salt and water and sometimes you have other products.

`2 H_3BO_3` + `3Ba(OH)_2` `->` 6 `H_2O` + `Ba_3(BO_3)2`

The OH- group from the base combines with the H+ from the acid to produce water. The cation from the base (in this case `Ba^2+` ) combines with the anion (borate) from the acid.

You then need to balance the chemical equation so that it follows the Law of Conservation of Mass.

I do hope this helps.
