The white color of barium sulfate (BaSO₄) disappears upon the addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) because HCl reacts with barium sulfate to form soluble barium chloride (BaCl₂) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). The dissolution of BaSO₄, which is a white precipitate, results in the loss of its characteristic color. The reaction effectively removes the solid phase of barium sulfate from the mixture, leading to a clear solution.
