Hydroxides of alkaline earth metals are basic in nature and react with strong acids (such as HCl) to produce alkaline earth metal salts and water.
Ba(OH)2(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)
When 4.50 g Ba(OH)2 reacts with 5.65 g HCl, one of the reactants is consumed before the other. Identify which one is it.
