Barium sulfate is very sparingly soluble. Any addition of it to a solution containing sulfate or barium will almost immediately cause a precipitate to form.

How can you test a solution for the barium ions?
Acidify the given solution with a few drops of concentrated HNO3 followed by the addition of 4 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid or ammonium sulphate. A white precipitate implies that there are Barium (II) ions present in the solution. The objective of the test give above is to recognize the Barium(II) ions as the white precipitate of barium sulphate which is not soluble in most of the solvents. Adding a sulphate solution at first might cause distractions as other cations such as strontium also make white precipitates with sulphate ions. Those other precipitates dissolve in dilute nitric acid.
Why is the reaction between barium chloride and sodium sulphate also called presipitation reaction?
The classic test for sulphate is to add a barium salt ( BaCl2 or Ba(NO3)2), which are soluble. When the sulphate anions come into contact with the barium cations, they immeiately combine as a white solid and fall to the bottom of the reaction vessel. The chloride and/or nitrates anions remain in solution.
Why you use BaSO4 reagent instead of BaCl2 solution in limit test of sulphate?
BaSO4 is insolubel AND it contains sulfate, the ion of which the absence or existance should be tested for. (This doesn't sound quite logic)
How would you test for the presence of sulfur Dioxide?
You can attempt to pass the gas into aqueous acidified potassium manganate(VII). Sulfur dioxide turns it from purple tocolourless.It forms a white precipitate of barium sulphate when passed through a solution of barium chloride and chlorine water.
What is the test for barium ions?
Gives white precipitate when Sulfuric acid added!
Why is barium chloride and alcohol used in the limit test for sulphates?
barium chloride reacts with a sulphate to produce barium sulphate which can be seen as a white precipitate and therefor identified.
Why hcl used in the limit test of sulphates?
to remove the impurities of sulphate
What is the chemical equation for the reaction between barium chloride and copper sulphate?
CuSO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) = CuCl2(aq) + BaSO4(s) This is the classic test for sulphates. A white precipitate of barium sulphate forms.
What will you see when you react sulfuric acid and barium hydroxide?
White precipitate will formed which is barium sulfate.
What piece of equipment can you use to heat up barium sulphate?
Bunson burner and test tube/flask.

How to tested Chloride and Sulfate limit test By USP monograph?
u can find the limit test for chloride& sulphate in a pharmaceutical chemistry by baccket or chatwal
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
Why alcohol used in the limit test for sulphate?
Alcohol helps to prevent super saturation.

What is the difference between a barium meal and a barium swallow?
Both a barium swallow and a barium meal test involve you swallowing a liquid suspension of barium sulphate before a series of X-rays are taken of your upper digestive tract. In a barium swallow test, X-ray images are taken of your pharynx (throat) and your oesophagus (the passageway that connects your throat to your stomach; sometimes called your gullet). In a barium meal test, X-ray images are taken of your stomach and the beginning of your duodenum (the beginning of your small intestine, the passageway that takes food away from your stomach). A barium meal test is often performed straight after a barium swallow test. Barium is a naturally occurring element that appears white on X-ray. In these tests, the barium is given as a cup of flavoured drink - like a milkshake. When swallowed, barium coats the walls of the digestive tract, which allows the shape of your upper digestive tract to be outlined on an X-ray. Without the barium your upper digestive tract would be barely visible on X-ray.
How do you test insoluble matter in soap?
through the copper sulphate test, magnesium sulphate and calcium chloride test.
