BaO is the chemical formula for Barium oxide, a white solid. H2O is the chemical formula for water. When these two substances react, they form Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2), another white solid.
- Reaction conditions
This reaction requires the presence of high temperature to occur.
- Reaction process
When Barium Oxide (BaO) is mixed with water (H2O) under high temperature conditions, a chemical reaction occurs, forming Barium Hydroxide (Ba(OH)2).
- Observed phenomena
The most noticeable phenomenon during the reaction is the change in color. White Barium oxide (BaO) combines with colorless water (H2O) to form white Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2).
