← ScienceWhich outcome results when concentrated sulfuric acid contacts barium chloride?
A)Formation of insoluble barium sulfate precipitate✓
B)Release of chlorine gas due to oxidation
C)Dissolution of barium chloride into solution
D)Neutralization forming barium hydroxide
💡 Explanation
When sulfuric acid contacts barium chloride, a double displacement reaction occurs because ionic exchange leads to the formation of barium sulfate, which has extremely low solubility in water. Therefore, barium sulfate precipitation occurs, rather than gas release, dissolution or neutralization, because these require conditions that aren't present.
