    write a balanced reaction between Ba(OH)2 and H2SO4.
    write a balanced reaction between Ba(OH)2 and H2SO4.
    ----> Ba(OH)2(aq) + H2SO4(aq) => BaSO4(s) + 2H2O(l)

    explain the observed changes in conductivity.
    ----> H2SO4-strong conductivity. Ba(OH)2-weak conductivity.

    Please check these answers are correct or not , if not please explain for me

    Thanks

    Well, at first you had Ba(SO4)2 and H2SO4 which are both electrolytes. Then, you have BaSO4 which is a solid, insoluble in water. A solid does not conduct electricity, nor does pure water. So, conductivity decreases.

    So, this equation is correct?


    Thanks for your explain

    Yup, you can self check it. Count the number of Ba, H, S, O on the right and then on the left. You'll see they are equal in number.

    Yes its perfectly balanced!

    Thanks

    reaction is
    Ba(OH)2 + H2SO4 ====> BaSO4 + 2H2O
    it is a balane equation and coductivity is depand upon capacity to dissociate in to ions. An BaSO4 have less capabilty to produce ions than H2SO4 and Ba(OH)4
