Barium chloride (CAT: M059417) is an inorganic salt composed of barium and chloride ions, typically encountered as a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It is widely used in chemical analysis, manufacturing, and laboratory research. In analytical chemistry, barium chloride serves as a reagent for detecting sulfate ions through the formation of insoluble barium sulfate. Industrially, it is utilized in heat-treating baths, pigment production, and the synthesis of other barium compounds. Due to its high solubility and ionic conductivity, it is also employed in certain electrochemical applications.
