Which compound is acting as a base in this reaction? h2s ba(oh)2 h2o bas

Answer

The base is Ba(OH)2

Explanation

This equation follows the path of, acid +base---salt +water

H2S +Ba(OH)2BaS +2H2O

Where H2S is the acid, Ba(OH) is the base and 2H2O is water.

Here, Barium hydroxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide to give barium sulfide and water.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
