'''Beryllium hydroxide''', Be(OH)<sub>2</sub> is an [[amphoteric]] [[hydroxide]], dissolving in both [[acids]] and [[alkali]]s.

:(aq) + Be(OH)<sub>2</sub>(s) → Na<sub>2</sub>Be(OH)<sub>4</sub>(aq)


With acids, beryllium salts are formed.<ref name="Wiberg&Holleman"/> For example, with [[sulfuric acid]], H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, [[beryllium sulfate]] is formed:
:2NaOH(aq) + Be(OH)<sub>2</sub>(s) → Na<sub>2</sub>Be(OH)<sub>4</sub>(aq)
:Be(OH)<sub>2</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> → BeSO<sub>4</sub> + <sub>2</sub>O
