Barium chloride
Barium chloride (CAS: 10361-37-2, BaCl <sub>2</sub> , Molar Mass: 208.23 g/mol) is an inorganic salt supplied by Tech Serve Solutions as white beads. This compound is a key reagent in various analytical procedures, including the detection of sulfate ions. It is also utilised in the preparation of other barium compounds and finds application in pigment production and case hardening of steel.
- Synonyms
- Barium dichloride
Analytical Reagent
Barium chloride is extensively used in qualitative and quantitative analysis for the precipitation and determination of sulfate ions. Its reaction with sulfates forms insoluble barium sulfate, a fundamental method in chemical testing.
Chemical Synthesis
It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of other barium-containing chemicals and compounds. This role is critical in the production of various pigments and in specialised metallurgical applications.
Metallurgical Applications
Barium chloride is employed in the case hardening of steel. This process improves the surface hardness and wear resistance of steel components, making them more durable for industrial use.
Pigment Production
The compound is used in the manufacturing of certain pigments. Its incorporation can influence the colour and properties of the final pigment product.
