Barium compounds are used in a variety of applications. Barium sulfate is used as a contrast medium in X-ray imaging, barium titanate is used in electronics for capacitors, and barium carbonate is used in the production of ceramics and glass. However, due to its toxicity, barium should be handled with caution.
It is the characteristic colour of a barium flame.

Can be used in Fluoirescent tubes and also make Paint, Bricks, Tiles, Glass and Rubber.
Barium is not a mineral, but is a chemical element. Barium, an alkaline metal, is quite reactive, and it is never found free in nature. Rather, it forms compounds that make up some minerals like barite, which is barium sulfate, and witherite, which is barium carbonate.
An ionic compound, Barium selenide or BaSe is formed, with the ions Ba2+ and Se2-.
No.

Since barium sulfate and barium chloride have a 1:1 molar ratio, you would need the same amount of barium chloride as barium sulfate, so 100 grams.

Barium Nitrate Ba(NO3)2, is made up of Barium (Ba), Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O).
The reaction between hydrofluoric acid (HF) and barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) would produce barium fluoride (BaF2) and water (H2O).
Barium sulfate (BaSO4) is a compound. It consists of three elements, barium, sulfur and oxygen chemically combined. Together these elements make up the compound.
An ionic compound, Barium selenide or BaSe is formed, with the ions Ba2+ and Se2-.
Barium hydroxide is composed of one barium ion (Ba2+) and two hydroxide ions (OH-), resulting in the chemical formula Ba(OH)2.
Barium is often used in barium-nickel alloys for spark-plug electrodes in vacuum tubes as drying and oxygen-removing agent. It is also used in fluorescent lamps: impure barium sulphide phosphoresces after exposure to the light. Barium compounds are used by the oil and gas industries to make drilling mud. Drilling mud simplifies drilling through rocks by lubricating the drill. Barium compounds are also used to make paint, bricks, tiles, glass, and rubber. Barium nitrate and chlorate give fireworks a green colour.
