Strong Base | barium hydroxide is a strong base, chemical formula Ba(OH)2, White amorphous powder solid, toxic! It is easy to absorb carbon dioxide in the air to generate barium carbonate, the relative density is 4.50, the melting temperature is 350, and the decomposition is above 600. Soluble in water, difficult to dissolve in ethanol, ether and acetone. The Crystal precipitated in aqueous solution is Ba(OH)2 · 8H2O, which is a colorless monoclinic crystal with a relative density of 2.18 (16 ℃) and a melting point of 78 ℃, all water of crystallization was lost at 780 °c. barium hydroxide can be prepared by the interaction of barium chloride with sodium hydroxide. The reaction formula is as follows: BaCl2 + 2NaOH → Ba(OH)2 + 2NaCl Industrial barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2 · 8H2O] content: Grade 1 ≥ 98%, grade 2 ≥ 96%. barium hydroxide is mainly used for petroleum industry additives and refined animal and vegetable oils, also used for the manufacture of barium salt, hardener of synthetic rubber, exclusion of boiler scale, glass composition, softening of water and medicine, plastics, glass, enamel and other industries. Barium hydroxide can also be used as a standard base for quantitative analysis, determination of carbon dioxide content, etc. barium hydroxide should be sealed and stored in a dry warehouse, and can not be stored and mixed with the acid items. |
solubility in water (g/100ml) | grams dissolved per 100ml of water at different temperatures (℃): 1.67g/0 ℃;2.48g/10 ℃;3.89g/20 ℃;5.59g/30 ℃;8.22g/40 ℃; 20.9g/60 ℃;101g/80 ℃ |
Use | is used as an analytical reagent, and also used to separate and precipitate sulfate and make barium salt |
production method | in the boiling state of concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, pure barium nitrate powder is added according to calculated amount, it was dissolved and filtered while hot. After cooling, most of the crystals of Ba(OH)2 · 8H2O were precipitated. Purification can be performed by Repeated recrystallization. Barium hydroxide octahydrate can be converted into anhydrous barium hydroxide by heating to 550 °c. |
