Consider the following unbalanced equation for the neutralization of acetic acid:
αHC2H3O2(aq)+ βBa(OH)2(aq)–> γH2O(l)+ δBa(C2H3O2)2(aq)
1.Balance the equation.
Give your answer as an ordered set of numbers α, β, γ, … Use the least possible integers for the coefficients.
2.Determine how many moles of Ba(OH)2 are required to completely neutralize 0.104 mole of HC2H3O2.

-
2HC2H3O2 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) —–> 2H2O (l) + Ba(C2H3O2)2 (aq)
alpha = 2
beta = 1
gamma = 2
delta = 1
