Definition of Barium Hydroxide
Barium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ba(OH)2. It is a white solid that is soluble in water. It is produced by the reaction of barium oxide with water. Barium hydroxide is used in the production of barium carbonate, barium sulfate, and other barium compounds. It is also used as a flux in metal welding.
Chemical Structure of Barium Hydroxide
Barium hydroxide is a white solid with the chemical formula Ba(OH)2. It is soluble in water, producing a strongly alkaline solution. Barium hydroxide is used in the production of other barium compounds, as a flux in metallurgy, and as a source of barium ions in chemical analysis.
Properties of Barium Hydroxide
Barium hydroxide is a basic inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ba(OH)2. It is a white solid that is highly soluble in water. Barium hydroxide is a strong base that can react with acids to form salts. It is used in the manufacture of other barium compounds, such as barium sulfate.
Barium Oxide: A Strong Base
BaO is a strong base that is soluble in water. It reacts with acids to form salts and releases oxygen.
Melting Point
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes from a solid to a liquid.
Solubility
- soluble in water
- Chemical Formula: C4H8O2
- Aromatic: No
Boiling Point
Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. At this point, the liquid will boil.
Other Properties of Barium Hydroxide
Barium hydroxide is a white solid that is soluble in water. It is a basic oxide and reacts with acids to form salts. It is used in the manufacture of other barium compounds, in the production of glass, and as a catalyst.
Properties of Barium Hydroxide At A Glance

Endothermic Reaction
Endothermic reactions are those that absorb energy from the surroundings, while exothermic reactions release energy. In an endothermic reaction, the reactants must have a higher energy than the products in order for the reaction to take place. This difference in energy is what drives the reaction.
An example of an endothermic reaction is the melting of ice. In this reaction, the energy from the surroundings is absorbed by the ice, causing it to melt. The energy is used to break the bonds between the water molecules.
Uses
