Product Overview
Barium hydroxide octahydrate (97% extra pure) is a highly alkaline compound widely used in laboratories for its strong basic properties. This crystalline powder dissolves readily in water, forming a clear, alkaline solution essential for titrations, pH adjustments, and organic synthesis. Its high purity ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical procedures. The octahydrate form provides stability and ease of handling, while its reactivity with carbon dioxide allows for applications in gas scrubbing and qualitative analysis. Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and COâ‚‚ contamination. Ideal for educational, research, and industrial labs requiring reliable, high-grade reagents.
FAQs
1.
What is the shelf life of barium hydroxide octahydrate?
Store in a cool, dry place away from COâ‚‚ and moisture to maintain stability for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture. 2.
Is this product compatible with glassware?
Yes, but prolonged contact with glass may cause etching due to its alkaline nature. Use plastic or corrosion-resistant containers for long-term storage. 3.
Can it replace sodium hydroxide in experiments?
While both are strong bases, barium hydroxide’s lower solubility and barium ion properties make it unsuitable for direct substitution in all cases. 4.
How should I dispose of unused barium hydroxide?
Neutralize with dilute acid (e.g., HCl) before disposal as per local hazardous waste regulations. 5.
Does this product require special handling?
Wear gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation and skin contact, as it is corrosive and toxic if ingested.
