Complete the reaction.?

Question

BaOH + HF --> ___ + ___

What is the name of this reaction?

A) single displacement
B) dehydration synthesis
C) acid base
D) decomposition



Which agent will give up the hydrogen ion?

Answer 1

This is actually a very simple problem if you can name the compounds.

Barium Hydroxide + Hydrofluoric Acid -->

This is an acid base reaction.

In simple acid base reactions, for the products, you always get water and a salt. In this case you get the salt BaF.

I am assuming by agent it means which compound (I typically only see agent with redox reactions.) the compound that loses the hydrogen is the HF.

Single replacement is when you have only one compound that switches such as

KCl + Na+ --> NaCl + K+

Dehydration synthesis is most commonly seen in biological processes and is close to this, but usually involves larger molecules that chain together

Acid base is a reaction of an acid and a base (pretty self explanatory)

Decomposition is a breakdown of a compound such as

2 H2O -----> 4 H2 + 2 O2 (upon the addition of an electrical current)

Answer 2

Ba(OH)2 + 2HF ===> BaF2 + 2H2O

C) Acid-base

HF gives up the H+

Answer 3

Dehydration synthesis
HF will give up Hydrogen ion.

I hope this helps!!
