Product Description
Barium hydroxide octahydrate, CAS 12230-71-6, is an inorganic compound that presents as a white, crystalline solid. It is a strong base, highly soluble in water, creating a distinctly alkaline solution often referred to as baryta water. A key characteristic is its ability to readily absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it a valuable reagent in analytical chemistry. It serves as a high-purity source of barium ions and a strong, yet controllable, base for numerous industrial and laboratory applications.
