Chemical Grade Barium Chloride Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CA-12679

The Barium Chloride laboratory reagent is a soluble inorganic salt used for sulfate-ion detection, precipitation reactions and supervised qualitative chemical analysis. It is intended for trained laboratory technicians, chemistry teachers, researchers and students working under direct supervision. Its reaction with sulfate ions produces a clearly visible white precipitate.

Product Description

Barium chloride has the anhydrous formula BaCl₂. Laboratory products may also be supplied as barium chloride dihydrate, BaCl₂·2H₂O. The hydration state must be confirmed from the product label or Certificate of Analysis because it changes the molar mass used in solution calculations.

The reagent is valuable for teaching precipitation, ionic equations and qualitative anion analysis. It is generally handled as a white crystalline solid that dissolves in water. Buyers can select complementary chemistry laboratory equipment and chemical analysis apparatus for weighing, solution preparation and filtration.

Key Features

• Established sulfate reagent: Barium ions produce an insoluble white precipitate with sulfate ions.
• Water-soluble compound: Suitable for preparing aqueous reagent solutions according to approved methods.
• Clear visual result: Precipitate formation supports practical observation during qualitative analysis.
• Educational value: Demonstrates ionic reactions, solubility rules and precipitation chemistry.
• Measured solid format: Can be weighed for controlled solution preparation after confirming hydration state.
• Specification-based supply: Pack size, form, grade, purity and assay require confirmation.
• Hazard-controlled use: Soluble barium compounds require strict prevention of ingestion and exposure.

How to Use Barium Chloride

1. Read the label, Safety Data Sheet and approved experimental method.
2. Confirm whether the reagent is anhydrous or hydrated before calculating mass.
3. Wear suitable gloves, protective eyewear and laboratory clothing.
4. Measure the specified quantity using a clean spatula and balance.
5. Prepare the solution inside an appropriately controlled laboratory area.
6. Add the reagent only in the quantity and sequence stated in the method.
7. Observe and record any precipitate without direct contact.
8. Collect all barium-containing residues as hazardous chemical waste.

Safety note: Barium chloride is toxic if swallowed and may be harmful through other exposure routes. Avoid dust, ingestion and eye or skin contact. Never discharge barium-containing solutions into drains, and do not permit unsupervised student handling.

Care & Maintenance

• Store the container tightly closed in a secure, dry chemical-storage area.
• Keep it clearly labelled and separated according to the current Safety Data Sheet.
• Use clean, dry dispensing tools to prevent contamination.
• Manage spills only through the institution’s hazardous-chemical procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Barium Chloride used for in a laboratory?

Barium chloride is commonly used for detecting sulfate ions. A positive reaction produces a white precipitate of barium sulfate under the conditions specified by the test method.

What is the formula of Barium Chloride?

Anhydrous barium chloride has the formula BaCl₂. The common dihydrate has the formula BaCl₂·2H₂O.

Why must the hydration state be confirmed?

Anhydrous and dihydrate forms have different molar masses. Using the wrong form in a calculation produces an incorrect solution concentration.

What happens when Barium Chloride reacts with sulfate?

Barium ions combine with sulfate ions to form insoluble barium sulfate. This appears as a white precipitate in an appropriate qualitative test.

Can Barium Chloride be used in school laboratories?

Use should be restricted to authorised experiments under direct qualified supervision. Strict exposure controls and hazardous-waste collection are required because soluble barium compounds are toxic.

Is a Certificate of Analysis supplied?

Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet availability must be confirmed before ordering. State the required hydration state, grade, purity and pack size in the enquiry.
