CAS 12230-71-6: Barium hydroxide, octahydrate

Barium hydroxide octahydrate, 98+% (ACS)

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.

Applications Barium hydroxide octahydrate is a reagent that is used in solid state metathesis of rocksalt oxides for synthesis of perovskite oxides. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Mandal, T. K., et al.: J. Mat. Chem., 14, 1273 (2004);

Barium(II) hydroxide octahydrate

Barium hydroxide octahydrate has been used in the centromeric heterochromatin banding technnique and to synthesize BaTiO3. The form Barium hydroxide was reported to catalyze the rate of β elimination of phosphoserine residues. It is also used as a general purpose additive for lubricants and greases, sugar fabrication, manufacturing soaps, fat saponification and chemical synthesis of other barium compounds.

Used in manufacture of alkali, glass; in synthetic rubber vulcanization, alkalizing agent in water softening, boiler scale remedy, softening water.Barium hydroxide octahydrate is used in the centromeric heterochromatin banding technique. It acts as a precursor to prepare barium titanate, barium sulfate, barium phosphate and barium sulfide. Further, it is used in analytical chemistry for the titration of weak acids especially organic acids. It is involved in the preparation of cyclopentanone, diacetone alcohol and D-Gulonic gamma-lactone. In addition to this, it finds application in ester hydrolysis such as dimethyl hendecanedioate and decarboxylation of amino acids.
