How soluble is Ba(OH)2 in water?

How soluble is Ba(OH)2 in water?

not very soluble. Almost insoluble

Why isn't it soluble? Doesn;t it have hydrogen bonds? And because like disolves like then it should be soluble in water?

I apologize. I misread the question. I thought you asked about magnesium hydroxide. Sorry.

Then according to the solubility rules it is soluble. Am I right?

Yessssssss Ba(OH)2 is soluble 🙂

Also think about it from the standpoint that it's a strong base, which means it must dissolve before it can do any acid/base chemistry!
