Barium Chloride
Barium Chloride (Product Code: SCI-177/142) is an analytical reagent grade barium salt (BaCl2) used as the standard test reagent for sulfate ions in school, college and water-testing laboratories. It comes as a 200 g pack with an MSDS, from which laboratories prepare their own test solution for salt analysis and precipitation practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as one of its analytical reagents for teaching labs.

What Is Barium Chloride Used For?
In qualitative analysis, a few drops of barium chloride solution are added to the sample after acidifying it with dilute hydrochloric acid; a dense white precipitate of barium sulfate confirms sulfate ions. The acid stops carbonate or sulfite ions from giving a misleading precipitate, which is why the order of adding reagents matters.
The salt is also used in precipitation-reaction practicals, in gravimetric determination of sulfate at college level and in flame tests, where barium gives a pale apple-green flame. Soluble barium compounds are toxic if swallowed, so keep this lab chemical locked in the store, label prepared solutions clearly and wash hands after use.
Supplier
Barium Chloride is sourced for customers by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and handles reagent orders for school and college analysis benches. Institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets can have it quoted with the acids and glassware for sulfate testing. The ScienceLab profile introduces the company.

- Sodium Sulfate — a known sulfate for a positive control.
- Dropper Bottle — dispenses the prepared test solution drop by drop.
- Test Tube Racks — holds tubes during salt analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Barium Chloride test for sulfate?
Barium Chloride solution added to an acidified sample forms a white barium sulfate precipitate when sulfate ions are present. Because barium sulfate does not dissolve in dilute hydrochloric acid, the result distinguishes sulfate from carbonate and sulfite.
Is Barium Chloride toxic?
Yes. Barium Chloride is toxic if swallowed and harmful if inhaled, so handle it with gloves and goggles, store it securely and keep it well away from food or drink. Follow the MSDS supplied with the 200 g pack.
What grade and pack size is Barium Chloride SCI-177/142?
Barium Chloride SCI-177/142 is analytical reagent grade and supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, suitable for preparing sulfate-test solutions and for precipitation practicals in schools and colleges.
What is the shelf life of Barium Chloride?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store Barium Chloride in a tightly closed container inside a secure, dry chemical cabinet.
Who supplies Barium Chloride SCI-177/142?
Barium Chloride SCI-177/142 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, testing labs, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Quotations can combine it with other analysis reagents.
