Barium chloride solution, 0.1N, is a standardized solution used in analytical chemistry for various titration and precipitation reactions, particularly in the determination of sulfate ions in samples. It is prepared and handled with care due to the toxic nature of barium compounds.

Applications:

• Titration: Barium chloride solution, 0.1N, can be used as a titrant in titration experiments to determine the concentration of sulfate ions (SO42-) in a sample. Barium chloride reacts with sulfate ions to form insoluble barium sulfate (BaSO4), which precipitates from solution.
• Precipitation Reactions: Barium chloride solution is commonly used in qualitative and quantitative analysis to precipitate sulfate ions as barium sulfate, which has low solubility in water. The formation of a white precipitate confirms the presence of sulfate ions in the sample.
• Standardization: Barium chloride solution, 0.1N, may also be used to standardize other solutions or titrants, particularly those used in sulfate analysis or related experiments.
