Barium carbonate is the inorganic compound with the formula BaCO 3. Like most alkaline earth metal carbonates, it is a white salt that is poorly soluble in water. It occurs as the mineral known as witherite. In a commercial sense, it is one of the most important barium compounds. [5]
Barium oxide, also known as baria, is a white hygroscopic non-flammable compound with the formula BaO. It has a cubic structure and is used in cathode-ray tubes , crown glass, and catalysts. It is harmful to human skin and if swallowed in large quantity causes irritation.
Potassium oxide is often not used directly in these products, but the amount of potassium is reported in terms of the K 2 O equivalent for whatever type of potash was used, such as potassium carbonate. For example, potassium oxide is about 83% potassium by weight, while potassium chloride is only 52%.
In this process barium oxide reacts at 500–600 °C with air to form barium peroxide which decomposes at above 800 °C by releasing oxygen. 2 BaO + O 2 ⇌ 2 BaO 2 The reaction was discovered by Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis-Jacques Thenard in 1811 and Jean-Baptiste Boussingault tried to use this reaction to establish a process to produce ...
Magnesium oxide – MgO; Potassium oxide – K 2 O; Rubidium oxide – Rb 2 O; Sodium oxide – Na 2 O; Strontium oxide – SrO; Tellurium dioxide – TeO 2; Uranium(IV) oxide – UO 2 (only simple oxides, oxyhalides, and related compounds, not hydroxides, carbonates, acids, or other compounds listed elsewhere)
BaAl 4 is an intermediate reacted with barium oxide to produce the metal. Note that not all barium is reduced. [9]: 3 8 BaO + BaAl 4 → Ba↓ + 7 BaAl 2 O 4. The remaining barium oxide reacts with the formed aluminium oxide: [9]: 3 BaO + Al 2 O 3 → BaAl 2 O 4. and the overall reaction is [9]: 3 4 BaO + 2 Al → 3 Ba↓ + BaAl 2 O 4
Four oxides of potassium are well studied: potassium oxide (K 2 O), potassium peroxide (K 2 O 2), potassium superoxide (KO 2) [25] and potassium ozonide (KO 3). The binary potassium-oxygen compounds react with water forming KOH. KOH is a strong base. Illustrating its hydrophilic character, as much as 1.21 kg of KOH can dissolve in a single ...
Barium acetate is generally produced by the reaction of acetic acid with barium carbonate: [2] BaCO 3 + 2 CH 3 COOH → (CH 3 COO) 2 Ba + CO 2 + H 2 O. The reaction is performed in solution and the barium acetate crystalizes out at temperatures above 41 °C. Between 25 and 40 °C, the monohydrate version crystalizes. Alternatively, barium ...
