Barium hydroxide, he pūhui matū me te tātai matūBa(OH)2, he matū totoka ma, he wairewa ki te wai, ka kiia te otinga ko te wai barite, he kawakore kaha. He ingoa ano te Barium Hydroxide, ara: caustic barite, barium hydrate. Ko te monohydrate (x = 1), e mohiotia ana ko te baryta, te wai-baryta ranei, tetahi o nga puhui matua o te barium. Ko tenei monohydrate maramara ma te ahua arumoni.Barium Hydroxide Octahydrate, i te mea he puna Barium tioata e kore e rewa te wai, he puhui matū parakore ko tetahi o nga matū tino kino e whakamahia ana i roto i te taiwhanga.Ba(OH)2.8H2Ohe karaihe taekore i te pāmahana rūma. He 2.18g/cm3 tona kiato, he wairewa te wai me te waikawa, he paitini, ka pa te kino ki te punaha nerve me te punaha nakunaku.Ba(OH)2.8H2Ohe waikura, ka wera pea te kanohi me te kiri. Mena ka horomia, ka whakapataritari i te kohanga nanahana. Tauhohenga Tauhohenga: • Ba(OH)2.8H2O + 2NH4SCN = Ba(SCN)2 + 10H2O + 2NH3
