1 Barium hydroxide reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form
barium chloride solution and water.
(a) (i) Complete the balanced equation for the reaction by adding a number
in front
of HCl(aq).
(1)
Ba(OH)2(s) + ................ ........ HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
(ii) State what you would see during the reaction.

(b) A student investigated how the pH of the mixture changed as barium hydroxide
was added to dilute hydrochloric acid.
The student used this method.
step 1 measure out 50 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid into a beaker using a
measuring cylinder
step 2 use a glass rod to place a drop of the acid onto a piece of
universal indicator paper and record the pH
step 3 add one spatula measure of barium hydroxide to the acid in the beaker
and stir
step 4 use the glass rod to place a drop of the mixture onto a new piece of
universal indicator paper and record the pH again
step 5 repeat steps 3 and 4 until there is no further change in the pH.
