Barium Chloride

Product Code : SCL-LC-12290

The Barium Chloride Lab Chemical is an inorganic barium salt reagent used for supervised chemistry experiments involving sulfate ion testing, barium salt chemistry, precipitation reactions, and qualitative inorganic analysis. It is suitable only for trained chemistry laboratories, colleges, science departments, institutional tenders, distributors, and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

Barium Chloride from Science Lab Supplies is intended for controlled educational and laboratory use where a barium chloride reagent is required under an approved SOP. The exact hydrate form, grade, assay, pack size, physical form, batch number, shelf life, SDS, COA, and transport documents must be confirmed before publication or quotation.

Barium chloride is commonly represented as BaCl₂ in anhydrous form. It is also widely supplied as barium chloride dihydrate, written as BaCl₂·2H₂O. Because soluble barium compounds are toxic, this product is for laboratory use only, not consumer, food, medical, household, or unrestricted classroom use.

Key Features

• Barium salt reagent: suitable for supervised inorganic chemistry and qualitative analysis demonstrations.
• Sulfate test support: used in approved procedures for observing sulfate precipitation reactions.
• Hydrate verification required: formula weight changes when supplied as anhydrous or dihydrate material.
• Formula reference: anhydrous barium chloride is represented as BaCl₂.
• Toxicity control: requires PPE, restricted access, labelled containers, and controlled waste handling.
• Pack size verification: supplied quantity and container type must be confirmed from the final quotation.
• Documentation-led procurement: SDS, COA, assay, batch number, and transport classification should be verified before use.

How to Use the Barium Chloride

1. Read the current SDS, product label, and institutional risk assessment before use.
2. Allow only trained laboratory personnel to dispense or prepare this reagent.
3. Confirm the hydrate form before weighing, because anhydrous and dihydrate forms have different formula weights.
4. Wear suitable PPE, including lab coat, compatible gloves, and eye or face protection.
5. Use only the minimum quantity required by the approved laboratory procedure.
6. Prepare solutions only in labelled, compatible containers using the written SOP.
7. Keep away from food items, feedstuffs, incompatible chemicals, and unlabelled containers.
8. Collect residues and contaminated materials as barium-containing hazardous waste.

Safety note: Barium Chloride must be handled as a toxic barium compound. Do not ingest, inhale dust, touch with bare hands, prepare unlabelled solutions, dispose into drains, or issue for unsupervised student handling.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in the original container in a cool, dry, ventilated and restricted chemical-storage area.
• Keep separated from food items, feedstuffs, incompatible chemicals, unlabelled containers, and unauthorized users.
• Use clean, dry, compatible tools and avoid returning unused or contaminated material to the original pack.
• Maintain SDS, COA, batch number, hydrate form, grade, pack size, and barium-waste records for audit control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Barium Chloride used for in a laboratory?

Barium Chloride is used as a barium salt reagent for supervised sulfate ion testing, precipitation reactions, qualitative inorganic analysis, and approved chemistry demonstrations.

What is the formula of Barium Chloride?

The anhydrous formula is BaCl₂. If supplied as dihydrate, it is written as BaCl₂·2H₂O.

Is Barium Chloride hazardous?

Yes. Barium Chloride is a toxic barium-containing chemical. It requires SDS-based handling, PPE, restricted access, compatible storage, and controlled hazardous-waste disposal.

Is Barium Chloride suitable for school chemistry labs?

It is suitable only where the institution permits barium-compound handling and trained staff control dispensing, demonstrations, storage, and disposal.

What grade is supplied?

The grade is not confirmed. Add LR, AR, ACS, analytical, technical, assay, or purity details only after verifying the product label, COA, or datasheet.

Does it include SDS or COA?

SDS and COA availability must be confirmed for the final supply. These documents should be requested before procurement, storage, classroom use, transport, or disposal planning.
