Write an equation showing how this buffer neutralizes added base (ba (oh2.

Ba (OH) 2 can be neutralized by adding an acid to the solution. We can add HCl to produce:

Ba (OH) 2 + 2HCl = = = > BaCl2 + 2H2O; producing a salt BaCl2 and water.

or we can add H2SO4 to produce:

Ba (OH) 2 + H2SO4 = = = > BaSO4 + 2H2O; producing a salt, BaSO4, and water.
