Question

What happens when barium chloride reacts with sulphuric acid?

Answer 1

BaCl2 + H2So4 -----> 2HCl + BaSo4

Answer 2

When Barium chloride $\text{(BaCl}_\text{2}\text{)}$ reacts with sulphuric acid $\text{(H}_\text{2}\text{SO}_\text{4}\text{)}$, it forms an insoluble white precipitate of Barium Sulphate $\text{(BaSO}_\text{4}\text{)}$. The reaction also produces Hydrochloric Acid $\text{(HCl)}$.

The Balanced reaction of Barium Chloride reacting with Sulphuric Acid to give Barium Sulphate and Hydrochloric Acid, is as followed:

$BaCl_2+H_2SO_4 \longrightarrow BaSO_4+ 2HCl$
