Question

. The reaction of ZnBr2 and Ba(OH)2 produces A. ZnO and BaBrH B. ZnBa and BrOH C. ZnBr2 and Ba(OH)2 D. BaBr2 and Zn(OH)2

Answer 1

Which one do you think it is?

Answer 2

i think A only bc it's a double displacement ...but i'm confused about the OH and why it breaks apart. It has something to do with the H...that's where i'm confused...

Answer 3

It's not A.... \(OH^-\) is one of the polyatomic ions you should know.

Answer 4

ok..how does that play a role in the problem?

Answer 5

I need to start from scratch..is it a double displacement?

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

The OH does not break apart.

Answer 9
