    Ba (OH) 2 + 2HClO4 - > Ba (ClO4) 2 + 2H2O

    The coefficient of H2O is 2

    Explanation:

    Ba (OH) 2 + HClO4 - > Ba (ClO4) 2 + H2O

    Now let us balance the equation as shown below:

    There are 2 atoms of Cl on the right and 1 atom on the left. It can be balanced by putting 2 in front of HClO4 as shown below:

    Ba (OH) 2 + 2HClO4 - > Ba (ClO4) 2 + H2O

    Now, there are a total of 4 atoms of H on the left and 2 on the right. It is balanced by putting 2 in front of H2O as shown below

    Ba (OH) 2 + 2HClO4 - > Ba (ClO4) 2 + 2H2O

    Now, the equation is balanced. From the balanced equation, the coefficient of H2O is 2

    The reaction of perchloric acid and barium hydroxide yields to barium perchlorate (Ba (ClO4) 2) and water (H2O). The resulting balanced equation is 2 HClO4 + Ba (OH) 2 = Ba (ClO4) 2 + 2 H2O. This means, for every mole of barium perchlorate produced, 2 moles of perchloric acid and barium hydroxide are required.
