Barium Chloride Dihydrate AR 500g
Barium Chloride Dihydrate AR (Analytical Reagent grade) is primarily used as a chemical reagent to test for the presence of sulfate ions in a solution, as it readily forms a white precipitate when mixed with sulfate ions; this is a common qualitative analysis technique in chemistry labs.
Key points about Barium Chloride Dihydrate AR:
Function:
Primarily used to identify sulfate ions by producing a visible white precipitate when added to a solution containing sulfate.
Analytical grade:
“AR” signifies “Analytical Reagent” grade, meaning it is a high purity chemical suitable for precise analytical work in a laboratory.
Chemical reaction:
When barium chloride solution is added to a solution containing sulfate ions, a white precipitate of barium sulfate forms.
