Barium chloride, like most chlorides, is soluble in water.

A solution of barium chloride is more disorganized than solid barium chloride, so entropy favors the solution over the solid.

Hydrogen gas is evolved along with the formation of a salt.

For example, when hydrochloric acid (HCl) is reacted with magnesium (Mg):

2 HCl + Mg --> MgCl2 + H2

Use acetone, usually your wife/girlfriend/mistress or husband will have some in the form of nail polish remover - check the label - it is a clear liquid, like water.

GP zones are the meta-stable phases (or precipitates), which, due to their high degree of dispersion and correspondingly large contribution to strength, are of primary interest. These precipitates are crystallographically coherent with the matrix and their fine dispersion enhances the mechanical properties of the alloy. GP is an abbreviation for Guinier and Preston, who first recognized these precipitates by X-ray scattering in 1938 while studying Cu-Al system. The size of these GP zones is of the order of few nanometers. Such small size is the primary reason of very high mechanical strengthening of the material.

The exact structure and composition of the GP zones (I and II,) is still a matter of discussion. A GP I zone was considered to comprise a monolayer of Cu atoms on a {200} lattice plane, whereas GP II zones were understood to be composed of a multilayer of Cu and Al atoms. Some authors now propose that the different solvus curves for the GPI and GPII zones are probably just due to the different average zone thickness after different ageing times, since they observed a GPII zone to form by coarsening of a GPI zone. Other authors, and this is the more classical point of view, understand GPII zones as an ordered phase, with two Cu layers separated by three Al layers. Both GP I and GP II zones have plate-like morphology. This is due to the high lattice misfit and the anisotropic elastic properties of the matrix and the low specific interfacial energy.

Usually, the best and easiest way to determine is by looking at the prices: The higher the price, the better the pool.

Stainless steel may be the best. But steel will be affected by chlorine and may rust eventually. Aliminum does not rust.

Aluminum by nature is very soft, unless it is an "alloy," which would make it too rigid for above-ground pool construction. Above-ground pools need a certain amount of flexibility to accommodate water movement and temperature changes.

It is also important is to make sure of the gauge of the walls! If the walls are not of at least 30 gauge, and have a deep corrugation (ridges in the wall) they not last as well.

Because the conductor in lithium is stronger Ap fueled than most other elements. Lithium-ion batteries also have a low density which enables it to store more electricity.

Aluminium is commonly used due to the fact that it does not rust or age with wear

However it can be susceptible to corrosion around steel, especially stainless-steel, fastenings, in some atmospheric conditions such as salty moisture in coastal locations.

It is also ductile so can be extruded in fairly complex sections needed for such applications.
