Answer:

Ba(OH)₂ requires more H₂SO₄ to reach neutralization..

Explanation:

  • At neutralization, acid neutralize base to form salt and water at equivalence.

  • For NH₄OH:
  • NH₄OH is neutralized by H₂SO₄ according to the reaction:

2NH₄OH + H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.

It is clear that every 2 mol of NH₄OH need 1 mol of H₂SO₄ to be neutralized.

  • For Ba(OH)₂:
  • Ba(OH)₂ is neutralized by H₂SO₄ according to the reaction:

Ba(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2H₂O.

It is clear that every 1 mol of NH₄OH needs 1 mol of H₂SO₄ to be neutralized.

So, Ba(OH)₂ requires more H₂SO₄ to reach neutralization.
