« on: July 21, 2015, 06:59:09 AM »
Hello Guys,

What's your definition of "very costly"? It would const me 2€/g (for 100 g) to buy. I don't think I'd bother making it myself.

BaCl2 + 2Acetylacetone :lequil: Ba(acac)2 + 2HCl will lie very far to the left - consider the pKa of acetylacetone compared to HCl.

I don't know how this compound is made, but if you think about pKa, you should be able to propose a Ba compound that should react with acetylacetone. Any ideas?

Not everybody has 200.- € to buy 100g.

I would take the Bareiumhydroxide or Carbonate.
