Product Overview
Barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl₂·2H₂O) is a high-purity, water-soluble crystalline compound widely used in laboratory settings for its reliable reactivity and stability. With a minimum assay of 99%, this ACS-grade reagent ensures accurate results in chemical synthesis, precipitation reactions, and analytical procedures. The dihydrate form maintains consistent hydration levels, preventing variability in experimental outcomes. Its fine, free-flowing crystalline structure allows for easy dissolution and precise measurement, making it a preferred choice for demanding applications. The compound is stable under normal storage conditions but should be kept in a tightly sealed container to avoid moisture absorption. Compatible with most standard lab glassware, it does not react adversely with common solvents, ensuring versatility across protocols. For optimal performance, store in a cool, dry environment away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers or sulfates.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of barium chloride dihydrate in water?
Barium chloride dihydrate is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 358 g/L at 20°C, forming a clear, colorless solution.
2. Can this compound be used for precipitation tests?
Yes, it is commonly used in qualitative analysis for sulfate ion detection due to its ability to form insoluble barium sulfate precipitates.
3. What is the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly in a sealed container, the shelf life is typically 3–5 years from the date of manufacture.
4. Is this grade suitable for gravimetric analysis?
The 99% purity (ACS grade) makes it suitable for gravimetric applications where precise stoichiometric calculations are required.
5. How should I dispose of unused barium chloride dihydrate?
Follow local chemical waste disposal regulations; neutralize with sodium sulfate solution before disposal to prevent environmental contamination.
