This equation describes the chemical reaction process between barium oxide (BaO) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) to create barium silicate (BaSiO3).
BaO is a chemical compound of barium and oxygen. It is a white, odorless, tasteless powder, insoluble in water, but soluble in acid.
SiO2, also known as quartz, is a solid compound, colorless, odorless, insoluble in water and most common solvents.
BaSiO3, or barium silicate, is a chemical compound of silicate and barium, in the form of a white, odorless, tasteless powder, insoluble in water.
- Reaction conditions:
This reaction usually occurs at high temperatures.
- Reaction process:
When barium oxide (BaO) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) are mixed and heated at high temperatures, they react with each other to create barium silicate (BaSiO3).
- Phenomena that occur:
When the reaction occurs, there is no prominent phenomenon except seeing the color change of the mixture from the color of BaO and SiO2 to the white color of BaSiO3.
