Correct answer: (4) BaSO4

 

Neutralization involves the reaction of an acid and a base which yields water and an inorganic salt.

Answering the question:

H2SO4 is an acid while Ba(OH)2 is a base.  When these two compounds react, the process is said to be a neutralization process.  Representing the said reaction in a chemical equation, we have:

H2SO4 + Ba(OH)2 ®       BaSO4 + 2H2O

With water and an inorganic salt as the expected products of the neutralization reaction, we can therefore conclude from the chemical equation above that the inorganic salt is BaSO4, which is option no. 4.

Options 1, 2 and 3 are eliminated.
