Barium hydroxide froms several hydrates. A specimen of barium hydroxide, suspected of being a hydrate, was prepared and analysed as follows to determine its formula.
3.632 g of the compound was dissolved in water to give 250.0mL of solution. 25.00 mL of this solution was titrated with 0.0987 M of HCl, using methyl-orange as indicator. Precise titrations of 23.34, 23.26 and 23.29 mL of HCl were obtained. Determine the formula of the hydrate.
I tried writing a balanced equation for the reaction, but I can't seem to balance it.
Also, I'm not exactly sure how to approach this problem so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
