About Barium Hydroxide
- Barium Hydroxide is a base.
- Aqueous Barium Hydroxide is an alkali.
- Barium Hydroxide is held together by ionic bonds.
- Barium Hydroxide has a giant ionic structure.
- Barium Hydroxide reacts with acids to produce a Barium salt:
- Hydrochloric Acid + Barium Hydroxide → Barium Chloride + Water
- 2HCl + Ba(OH)2 → BaCl2 + H2O
- Sulphuric Acid + Barium Hydroxide → Barium Sulphate + Water
- H2SO4 + Ba(OH)2 → BaSO4 + 2H2O
- Nitric Acid + Barium Hydroxide → Barium Nitrate + Water
- 2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 → Ba(NO3)2 + H2O
