BARIUM OXIDE 99.9% (anhydrous) - 100 gm

Description

Barium oxide by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This compound is a derivative of barium. The reagent is available as a white coloured powder which is soluble in water, ethanol, dilute mineral acids and alkalis. It has a melting point of 1923 C and a boiling point at approximately 2000 C. While it is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Barium oxide can be prepared by heating barium carbonate. Like other barium salts, barium oxide is toxic and must be handled carefully. CAS No.: 1304-28-5 Quantity Provided: 100 gm per bottle Molecular formula: BaO Molecular weight: 153.33 Assay: Minimum 99 %Barium oxide has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors.
