Barium Hydroxide
 (1).png)
Product Code : SCL-LC-12269
Barium Hydroxide (SKU SCL-LC-12269), Ba(OH)2, is a strong inorganic base used in supervised chemistry work on alkalis, barium salts, acid-base titration and qualitative demonstrations. Because it may be corrosive and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled, it suits colleges, trained laboratory staff and science departments. Science Lab Supplies takes enquiries for it in Ambala, India and supplies colleges, institutional labs, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Formula, available hydrate forms, hazards and storage rules for barium hydroxide are tabulated one per row. In short, it is Ba(OH)2, available as the anhydrous solid, monohydrate, octahydrate or a solution; because these forms differ in formula weight, the form, grade, assay and pack size are confirmed on the batch label and quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Barium Hydroxide
The base can be used to show how alkaline-earth hydroxides behave, to run supervised acid-base titrations and neutralisation demonstrations, and to illustrate reactions of barium and hydroxide ions in qualitative work. It is also a practical case study for storing and handling corrosive bases safely.
- Class 11 chemistry: the s-block elements, with barium hydroxide as a Group 2 hydroxide.
- B.Sc. inorganic and physical chemistry: supervised acid-base and weak-acid titrations in a Conical Flask (Erlenmeyer) with Stopper, with the reagent weighed on a Chemical Semi-Analytical Balance.
- Qualitative lessons on barium ions and hydroxide ions.
- Chemical-safety training on corrosive bases, PPE and storage segregation.
Standard Scope of Supply
You receive one pack of barium hydroxide per unit ordered, in the form and quantity set out on the quotation, labelled with batch, hydrate and hazard information and supplied with its Safety Data Sheet and transport documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for one pack or a quantity for several college laboratories, and the quotation will state packing, delivery time and price for exactly that order. Tell us which hydrate form your method needs; other bases and chemistry lab equipment in India can share the quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. Submit your quantity and hydrate form on the contact page or through the enquiry cart; tender-led purchases are explained on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which form of barium hydroxide is supplied?
It may be anhydrous, monohydrate, octahydrate or a solution. Each has a different formula weight, so the form is stated on the quotation and the batch label; tell us which one your method specifies.
Is barium hydroxide hazardous?
Yes. It may be corrosive and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Use Gloves - Protective, eye protection and ventilation, keep it away from acids and incompatible metals, and never issue it for unsupervised student handling.
Who supplies the Barium Hydroxide?
This base is offered by Science Lab Supplies, an Ambala-based laboratory chemicals supplier in India. Colleges, institutional labs and distributors receive quotations that state the hydrate form, grade and pack size.
Can it be used in school chemistry labs?
Only where the institution permits barium hydroxide handling and trained staff supervise the procedure with the current Safety Data Sheet at hand; it should never be issued for unsupervised student use.
