Solution

The correct option is C Ba+2HClH2+BaCl2

In a balanced equation, the number of atoms of each element will remain equal.

Ba+2HClBaCl2+H2

When barium reacts with hydrochloric acid, it will form barium chloride with the evolution of hydrogen gas.

Here, 1 mole of barium reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mole of barium chloride and 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

Hence, option C is correct.
