Barium Chloride 200 g Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Barium Chloride 200 g (Product Code: SCI-577/250) is an analytical reagent grade barium salt used to test for sulphate ions and to demonstrate precipitation reactions in school and college chemistry laboratories. It gives a dense white barium sulphate precipitate that stays undissolved in dilute acid, and it comes as a 200 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier to schools, colleges and dealers.

Specifications

What Is Barium Chloride Used For?

To test a solution for sulphate, students acidify it with dilute hydrochloric acid and add a few drops of barium chloride solution; a white precipitate of barium sulphate confirms sulphate ions. The acid removes carbonate and sulphite, which would otherwise also give white precipitates, so the test becomes specific. College students take the same reaction further in gravimetric analysis, filtering, drying and weighing the precipitate to find sulphate content.

Barium chloride also gives an apple-green flame, useful when teaching flame tests for Group 2 metals. Soluble barium compounds are toxic if swallowed, so wear gloves, wash hands after use and keep the reagent locked away when it is not needed. Never pour barium waste down the drain; collect it for disposal as the MSDS directs.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies Barium Chloride 200 g from Ambala, Haryana, to institutions and laboratory dealers. Known sulphate samples, acid and disposable gloves can be quoted in the same enquiry. See the ScienceLab profile page to learn more about the company.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Sulphate tests and precipitation practicals with Barium Chloride 200 g generally need:

• Sodium Sulfate 100 g — a known sulphate for a positive control.
• Hydrochloric Acid 2000 ml — acidifies the sample before barium chloride is added.
• Test Tube with Rim — rimmed glass tubes for small-scale precipitation tests.
• Gloves - Protective disposable — chemical-resistant gloves for handling toxic barium salts.
• Barium Nitrate — an alternative barium reagent where chloride ions must be avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Barium Chloride used to test for sulphate ions?
Acidify the sample with dilute hydrochloric acid, then add Barium Chloride solution. A white precipitate of barium sulphate that does not dissolve in the acid confirms sulphate ions; no precipitate means sulphate is absent from the sample.

Why is the sample acidified before adding barium chloride?
Carbonate and sulphite ions also form white precipitates with Barium Chloride, but those precipitates dissolve in dilute acid. Acidifying first removes them, so any white precipitate that remains can be attributed to sulphate.

Is Barium Chloride toxic?
Yes. Barium Chloride, like other soluble barium salts, is toxic if swallowed. Handle it with gloves and goggles, wash hands after use, store it securely, and collect waste for disposal as described in the MSDS supplied with the pack.

Which grade and pack size does this Barium Chloride listing cover?
This Barium Chloride, product code SCI-577/250, is listed as analytical reagent grade in a 200 g pack with its MSDS. The hydration state is not stated in the listing; ask us if your method specifies anhydrous or dihydrate salt.

What is the shelf life of Barium Chloride 200 g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Barium Chloride 200 g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the pack locked and dry.

Can dealers and importers order Barium Chloride 200 g?
Yes. Dealers, importers, schools and colleges can order Barium Chloride 200 g in the number of packs they need for India and international markets. Share quantities, destination and any import requirements through the contact page for a quotation.
