Barium Hydroxide: Trusted Quality, Proven Excellence.
Barium hydroxide is a hydroxide of Barium. It is also known as Barium dihydroxide or Caustic Baryta.
Barium hydroxide chemical formula Ba(OH)2. It is available in various forms such as monohydrate, and octahydrate. It is used in multiple applications, especially in analytical and organic chemistry
BARIUM HYDROXIDE
Structure
Barium hydroxide structure is formed with two hydroxyl anions (OH-) and one barium cation (Ba2+).
Synthesis
Barium hydroxide is produced by reacting Barium chloride with sodium hydroxide in an aqueous solution.
2 NaOH (aq) + BaCl2 (aq) → Ba(OH)2 (s) + 2 NaCl (aq)
Barium dihydroxide can also be produced by reacting Barium nitrate with Sodium hydroxide.
2NaOH + Ba(NO3)2 → 2NaNO3 + Ba(OH)2
USES OF BARIUM HYDROXIDE
Precise Titration of Weak Acids in Analytical Chemistry
Enhancing Plastic Properties with Additives
Dehydration and Deacidification for Purity in Fats and Oils
Synthesis of Barium and Organic Compounds
