Barium Hydroxide 500GM

Barium Hydroxide – Buy Laboratory Reagent Grade 500g | South Africa & Sub-Saharan Africa

Barium Hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂, baryta) is a strong inorganic base used as an analytical reagent, titrant, and industrial chemical. With its high alkalinity and selective reactivity with sulphate and carbonate ions, barium hydroxide is an essential reagent for CO₂ absorption, sulphate precipitation, and a range of titrimetric and synthetic applications. Supplied in 500g laboratory packs by GLASSWORLD.

Key Features

• Strong base – High pH in solution for demanding alkaline chemistry applications
• Selective sulphate and carbonate reactivity – Effective precipitating agent for analytical use
• Laboratory reagent grade – Consistent purity for reliable analytical results
• Water soluble – Easy preparation of standard alkaline solutions
• 500g pack – Convenient laboratory quantity for regular use

Applications

• CO₂ absorption and carbon dioxide determination (Pettenkofer method)
• Gravimetric sulphate determination via barium sulphate precipitation
• Saponification of fats and oils in analytical chemistry
• Titrant for weak acid determinations
• Organic synthesis and condensation reactions (aldol condensation)
• Water softening and pH adjustment
• Analytical chemistry and quality control laboratories

Safety Notice: Barium hydroxide is corrosive and toxic. Handle with appropriate PPE including alkali-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a face shield. Avoid inhalation of dust. Follow all relevant MSDS and laboratory safety protocols.
