Complete and balance given reaction. BaH 2 (s) + H 2 O(l) →

Complete and balance the given reaction. Here we have an ionic hydride reacting with water. So here, remember, when we're reacting with an ionic hydride with either an acid or water, break up the reactants into its respective ions. So Barium is in group 2 A, so it's 2+++++++++++++++++++++++ Water here is going to be composed of H+ ion and hydroxide ion respectively. Now we're gonna have a double displacement reaction. H minus 1, and h plus 1 will combine together to give us H2 gas, and then barium hydroxide will combine together to give us barium hydroxide. And it would be aqueous based on our solubility rules. Here we'd see if it's balanced overall. Let's see, we have 2 hydrogens, plus another 2 is 4. We have 4 here. We have, let's see, 1 oxygen here, but 2 over here. So the oxygens are not balanced, so we have to fix that. So here I'm gonna put a 2, so now we have 2 oxygens on both sides. But now we have how many hydrogens? We have 2 times 2 is 4, plus another 2 is 6. So to balance things out, I have to put a 2 here. Now, everything is balanced, 1 buried on both sides, 6 hydrogens on both sides, 2 oxygens on both sides. This will represent my balanced equation that creates hydrogen gas from the reaction of barium hydride and liquid water.

Complete and balance given reaction. BaH 2 (s) + H 2 O(l) →

BaH 2 (s) + 2 H 2 O(l) → 2 O 2 (g) + BaH 4 (aq)

BaH 2 (s) + 2 H 2 O(l) → 2 H 2 O 2 (l) + Ba(s)

2 BaH 2 (s) + 2 H 2 O(l) → 2 Ba(OH) 2 (aq)

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the reactants and products in the given chemical equation. The reactants are BaH2(s) and H2O(l), and the products are H2(g) and Ba(OH)2(aq).

Write the unbalanced chemical equation: BaH2(s) + H2O(l) → H2(g) + Ba(OH)2(aq).

Balance the equation by ensuring the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides. Start by balancing the barium (Ba) atoms. There is 1 Ba atom on both sides, so they are balanced.

Next, balance the hydrogen (H) atoms. There are 2 H atoms in BaH2 and 2 H atoms in each H2O molecule on the reactant side, totaling 4 H atoms. On the product side, there are 2 H atoms in each H2 molecule and 2 H atoms in Ba(OH)2, totaling 4 H atoms. To balance, ensure there are 2 H2 molecules on the product side.

Finally, balance the oxygen (O) atoms. There are 2 O atoms in 2 H2O molecules on the reactant side and 2 O atoms in Ba(OH)2 on the product side. The equation is now balanced: BaH2(s) + 2 H2O(l) → 2 H2(g) + Ba(OH)2(aq).
