Product Overview
Barium chloride anhydrous powder is a highly refined chemical compound designed for precision laboratory applications. This purified-grade reagent offers exceptional solubility in water, ensuring accurate and reproducible results in analytical procedures. Its anhydrous form eliminates moisture-related inconsistencies, making it ideal for sensitive experiments requiring strict control over water content. The powder’s fine particle size enhances dissolution rates, reducing preparation time while maintaining high purity standards. Free from impurities, this barium chloride variant delivers reliable performance in gravimetric analysis, particularly in chloride ion determination. The compound’s stability under standard laboratory conditions ensures long shelf life without degradation. Its neutral pH in solution prevents unwanted side reactions, maintaining experimental integrity. The purified grade meets stringent quality specifications, making it suitable for both qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques. The product comes in a secure, moisture-resistant packaging that preserves its anhydrous properties during storage and handling.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between anhydrous and hydrated barium chloride?
Anhydrous barium chloride contains no water molecules in its crystal structure, while the hydrated form (typically dihydrate) includes two water molecules per formula unit. The anhydrous version offers higher purity and is preferred for applications where water content could interfere with results.
2. Can this barium chloride powder be used for preparing standard solutions?
Yes, this purified-grade anhydrous powder is excellent for preparing standard solutions due to its high solubility and precise composition. The anhydrous form allows for accurate weighing and concentration calculations without accounting for water content.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling barium chloride?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, as barium compounds are toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and never pipette by mouth.
4. How should this product be stored to maintain its anhydrous properties?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Keep the original packaging closed when not in use, and consider adding desiccant packets to the storage container to absorb any ambient moisture that might compromise the anhydrous nature.
5. What is the typical shelf life of this barium chloride powder?
When stored properly in its original, unopened packaging, this anhydrous barium chloride powder maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. After opening, use within 12 months for best results.
