Consider the following unbalanced equation for the neutralization of acetic acid:
αHC2H3O2(aq)+ βBa(OH)2(aq)--> γH2O(l)+ δBa(C2H3O2)2(aq)
1.Balance the equation.
Give your answer as an ordered set of numbers α, β, γ, ... Use the least possible integers for the coefficients.
2.Determine how many moles of Ba(OH)2 are required to completely neutralize 0.104 mole of HC2H3O2.

-
2HC2H3O2 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) -----> 2H2O (l) + Ba(C2H3O2)2 (aq)
alpha = 2
beta = 1
gamma = 2
delta = 1
