Whats the balanced equation for Ba(OH)2 and FeSO4?which of the products are aqeous

Ferrous hydroxide, Ferric hydroxide and Barium sulfate are
insoluble or in other words they are not aqueous.


Ba(OH)2
is soluble and exists as Ba(2+) and 2 OH- ions. Ferrous sulfate reacts with the OH- ion
and gives Ferrous hydroxide and a SO4(2-) ion. So if Ba(OH)2 and FeSO4 are mixed, the
FeSO4 will react with the OH- ions to give Fe(OH)2, which is insoluble and a SO4(2-) ion
that has to be accepted by the Ba(2+) ions resulting in Barium sulfate which is also
insoluble.


I am not sure the two chemicals will react but
if they do, both the resulting compounds of the reaction will be
precipitated.


If a reaction does take place between the
two, the balanced equation would
be:


Ba(OH)2+FeSO4=BaSO4+Fe(OH)2

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
