Observations Before Experiment: · Barium Hydroxide. Ba(OH2) . 8H2O - The barium hydroxide appeared to have a slight tint of blue giving it the appearance of an off white substance. - The substance needed to be crushed or grinded down into finer pieces to allow for better reaction with the ammonium thyocyanate, NH4SCN. - Therefore a mortar and pestle was used to grind down the barium hydroxide into finer pieces. - When the substance …showed first 75 words of 1802 total…
