2 questions about barium peroxide
« on: December 22, 2014, 03:53:16 PM »
Hello!!,
I have a doubt with the synthesis of peroxide barium, I see that you need (for example): BaCl2 + H2O2, but everyone do it with a solution that contains also NH3, why?
This is my question, why you need NH3 to synthesise BaO2?

my other question is: why a solution of BaO2 with H2O is basic?

First question: If you add only barium chloride and hydrogenperoxide, what are the results. Develop the equation. What will the ammonia do if you add it?

Second question: What is the general behaviour of Oxides of the elements of the second group, if dissolved in water.

First:
BaCl2 + H2O2 = 2HCl + BaO2
If you add ammonia, it neutralize hydrochloric acid doing ammonium. But, because they neutralize the medium, for what?

Second:
general behaviour: BaO + H2O = Ba(OH)2
BaO2 + H2O = Ba(OH)2 (but this isn't ajusted)
