Question

For this reaction H2SO4(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→CaSO4(aq)+2H2O(l), which substance is the base?

Answer 1

Ca(OH)2 is the base for this reaction.

PLEASE MARK BRAINLIST.

Answer 2

In the given acid-base reaction, the base is $Ca(OH)_2$

Explanation:

Acids are defined as the chemical species which donate hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.

$HA(aq.)\rightarrow H^+(aq.)+A^-(aq.)$

Bases are defined as the chemical species which donate hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.  

$BOH(aq.)\rightarrow B^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)$

The given chemical equation follows:

$H_2SO_4(aq.)+Ca(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow CaSO_4(aq.)+2H_2O(l)$

Here, calcium hydroxide is acting as base because it dissociates into calcium ions and hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.

The chemical equation for the ionization of calcium hydroxide follows:

$Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2OH^-$
