BARIUM HYDROXIDE AR (OCTAHYDRATE)
Barium hydroxide is used in analytical chemistry to titrate weak acids, particularly organic acids. It forms clear aqueous solutions that are free from carbonate, unlike those of the alkali hydroxides, since barium carbonate is insoluble in water.
Application
barium hydroxide octahydrate (Ba(OH)2.8H2O) and ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) are mixed in a beaker, which is then placed on a few drops of water on a small board.
