write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when water is added to anhydrous BaCl2.

Question

would it be BaCl2+2H2o --> BaCl2+2H2O

Answer 1

We normally write the hydrated material with a . or a * on the computer (as in BaCl2.2H2O or BaCl2*H2O. In REAL life, the . should be in the middle of the line and not at the bottom or top. But I can't do that on this machine.
