1) Determine a fórmula da base hidróxido de bário: * 1 ponto a) b) c) d) 2) As bases são substâncias iônicas, ou seja, quando são solubilizadas em água liberam íons, qual das características abaixo pode ser atribuída as soluções iônicas? * 1 ponto a) Conduzem corrente elétrica. B) Isolantes elétricos. C) Radioatividade. D) Emissão de raio UVA.

To deduce the formula of Barium hydroxide, we have to go to the periodic table and look for the Barium (Ba), which is in group 2 and has an ionic charge of 2+. Hydroxides are not an element that is present in the periodic table is the combination of Oxygen and Hydrogen (OH), and its ionic charge is 1-.

To name this substance, we write the elements that form it, which are Ba OH, then we see the ionic charges that they have, Ba2+ OH 1- and we change these charges giving the 2+ to the OH and the 1- to the Ba. It would look Ba OH₂; we do not write the 1, and as there is a 2, the OH, has to be between brackets so that the final formula is Ba(OH)₂. What we did is balancing the charges of the elements. In other words, we need 2 OH for every Ba. Hydroxides give an electron to balance the Ba ionic charge.

Barium Hydroxide is an ionic compound because ionic compounds are formed by a metal (Ba) and a nonmetal element (OH), ionic compounds are charged, so when they are in an aqueous solution they conduct electricity because their ions move freely in the solution.
