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 is corrosive and barium compounds are harmful, it is aimed at colleges, trained laboratory staff and science departments. Science Lab Supplies sources and delivers it from Ambala, India, for colleges, institutional labs, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Barium hydroxide is written Ba(OH)2 and can be supplied as the anhydrous solid, the monohydrate, the octahydrate or a solution. These forms have different formula weights, so the form, grade, assay and pack size are fixed on the batch label and confirmed in your quotation before dispatch.

Applications and Experiments for Barium Hydroxide
Teachers use the base 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.
- 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. Our team answers through the contact page and the enquiry cart; if you are buying against a tender, see 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 is corrosive and harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Use gloves, 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?
Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, provides it from Ambala to colleges, institutional labs and distributors, quoting hydrate form, grade and pack size for each order.
Can it be used in school chemistry labs?
Only where the institution permits barium hydroxide and trained staff supervise the procedure with the current Safety Data Sheet at hand.
Related Bases and Barium Salts
Barium hydroxide is usually stocked with other alkalis for titration work and with barium salts for qualitative analysis. The four chemicals below, from the same range, cover both needs and share the storage and handling precautions of this base, so they can be quoted together.
- Barium Chloride — barium salt for sulfate ion testing and precipitation reactions.
- Barium Nitrate — inorganic nitrate for qualitative and analytical procedures.
- Sodium Hydroxide Flakes — strong alkali for neutralisation and titration.
- Calcium Hydroxide — alkaline reagent for limewater and neutralisation work.
