Barium Chloride Extra Pure – 500 gram Packs

Lab Wale Barium Chloride Extra Pure – 500 gram Packs is an inorganic laboratory chemical used in analytical chemistry, qualitative testing, and selected inorganic synthesis procedures. Barium chloride is a water-soluble barium salt commonly used as a reagent for detecting sulfate ions through the formation of a white barium sulfate precipitate. It is available in anhydrous and hydrated forms, with the dihydrate commonly used in laboratory applications. The exact formula and molecular weight depend on the form supplied, so the product label should be checked before quantitative use. Supplied in a 500 gram pack, it is intended for controlled laboratory applications. Because soluble barium compounds are toxic, careful handling, suitable protective equipment, and appropriate hazardous-waste disposal are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions About Barium Chloride Extra Pure

1. What is Barium Chloride Extra Pure used for?

Barium Chloride is commonly used in qualitative analysis to test for sulfate ions, which can form a white precipitate of barium sulfate. It is also used in selected inorganic chemistry procedures and research applications involving barium salts. Use it only where appropriate for the method.

2. What is the chemical formula of Barium Chloride?

Anhydrous Barium Chloride has the formula BaCl₂, while the commonly used dihydrate is BaCl₂·2H₂O. Their molecular weights differ because the dihydrate contains water of crystallization. Confirm the form on the product label before performing molar calculations.

3. Is Barium Chloride soluble in water?

Yes, Barium Chloride is soluble in water and dissociates into barium and chloride ions. This makes it useful in suitable aqueous analytical procedures. Its use should account for the toxicity of dissolved barium ions and the chemical compatibility of the solution.

4. What precautions should be followed when handling Barium Chloride?

Barium Chloride is toxic if swallowed and may be harmful through other exposure routes. Wear appropriate gloves, safety goggles, and a laboratory coat, and avoid inhaling dust or contacting the material directly. Consult the safety data sheet for first aid, spill response, and disposal procedures.

5. How should Barium Chloride Extra Pure be stored?

Keep the chemical in its original, tightly closed, clearly labelled container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated chemical storage area. Protect it from contamination and incompatible substances. Restrict access to trained personnel and follow the storage requirements specified for the supplied form.

Storage Conditions for Barium Chloride Extra Pure

Store Barium Chloride in its original, clearly labelled, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated chemical storage area. Protect it from contamination and incompatible materials, and maintain the specified hydration state according to the product instructions. Keep it away from food and beverages and secure it against unauthorized access. Follow the product label and safety data sheet for specific storage requirements.

Precautions for Handling Barium Chloride Extra Pure

Handle Barium Chloride using appropriate laboratory chemical safety procedures. Wear suitable chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a laboratory coat, and minimize dust formation during weighing or transfer. Avoid ingestion, inhalation, and contact with skin or eyes. Do not eat or drink in the work area, and wash hands thoroughly after handling. Consult the product-specific safety data sheet for exposure controls, first aid, spill response, and hazardous-waste disposal. Prevent release into drains or the environment.
