Product Information

• Name: Barium hydroxide octahydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Barium hydroxide octahydrate is a chemical compound with the formula Ba(OH)2. It is an oxide of barium, which has a high resistance to water vapor and oxidation. Barium hydroxide octahydrate can be used as an oxidizing agent in organic synthesis or as a catalyst in surface methodology. The reaction mechanism of barium hydroxide octahydrate is the same as that of other barium compounds, and it can react with water vapor to produce hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and heat. The analytical method for barium hydroxide octahydrate is based on its ability to form a precipitate with lead chloride and sodium carbonate when heated. This precipitate is insoluble in hydrochloric acid but soluble in nitric acid.
