Description

Application
Barium chloride is used in laboratories for testing the presence of sulfate ions in water treatment processes and in the manufacturing of pigments and other barium salts.

Purpose
The purpose of barium chloride is to act as a chemical reagent that reacts with sulfate ions to form an insoluble white precipitate of barium sulfate helping in qualitative analysis.

General Description
Barium chloride is a white crystalline inorganic compound it is highly soluble in water and known for its toxicity and ability to form precipitates with sulfate ions.
