Have I got this right?

I'm doing a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when solid barium hydroxide dissolves in water. Have I done this right (sorry not yet got to grips with the subscripts so saying subn when I need to!)

 

Ba(OH)sub2 --> Ba2OHsub2

 

If I have gone the wrong way can someone direct me where I have gone wrong so I can understand what I am not doing.

 

Thank you :embarass:

why not just put [math]Ba(OH)_{2(s)} + (aq) \rightarrow Ba(OH)_{2(aq)}[/math']. Far simpler and does exactly what is says on the tin.

 

Because that's not what the homework requires; whilst it's adequate shorthand, it's useless for establishing a grounding in the mechanisms of aqueation.

eh pretend that second propane structure actually worked...

If you use the [code/code] BB tags, you can make a block of monospaced text. All characters will take up the same horizontal space, and spaces will not be collapsed.

 

Handy for things like propane structure ;)
