What is the symbol fol barium sulphate?

barium =Basulphate = SO4so barium solphate is BaSO4


What is the chemical name of Ba2P3?

The chemical name of Ba2P3 is barium phosphide. It is composed of two barium ions (Ba2+) and three phosphorous ions (P3-).


Why do you add hydrochloric acid to test for sulphate?

Hydrochloric acid is added to a solution being tested for sulphate ions to precipitate the sulphate as barium sulphate. This is a confirmatory test for the presence of sulphate ions in the solution because barium sulphate is insoluble and forms a white precipitate.


How do you determine the sulphate?

Sulphate ions can be determined using methods such as gravimetric analysis, titration with barium chloride, or ion chromatography. In gravimetric analysis, sulphate ions are precipitated as barium sulphate and weighed. Titration with barium chloride involves adding a known volume of barium chloride solution to the sample containing sulphate ions, and the excess barium chloride is back-titrated with a standard solution of a titrant such as potassium chromate. In ion chromatography, separation and quantification of sulphate ions are done using a chromatographic column with specific properties.


How do you test for sulphate ions?

add barium chloride or barium nitrate to a solution containing sulphate ions SO4 2-. To the same solution add hydrochloric acid in excess. OBSERVATIONS, a white precipitate which is insoluble in excess acid confirms presence of SO42- IF IT DISSOLVES then it confirms SO32- ----------------------------------------- 1) Add barium nitrate solution under acidic conditions (use an equal volume of hydrochloric acid) to the unknown solution 2) A white precipitate of barium sulphate forms if sulphate ions are present
