I. NAME OF CHEMICAL BARIUM CHLORIDE

II. MOLECULAR FORMULA BaCl2.2H2O

III. PARAMETERS:
1) Appearance. Crystals
2) Color. Colorless
3) Solubility in water. Soluble.
4) Assay. NLT 98.5%

IV. DESCRIPTIVE NOTES FOR PROCEDURE:

1. Solubility:

1 gm sample + 5 ml H2O  Completely soluble.

2. Assay:

0.5 gm sample + 50 ml H2O in stoppered vessel + 10 ml Nitric acid + 50 ml.

Shake
N/10 Silver Nitrate + 3 ml Nitrobenzene for one minute Titrate
  N/10
vigrously
ammonium thiocyanate using acid ferric ammonium sulphate solution as
indicator, and shaking well between successive additions of titrant.

Each ml of N/10 silver nitrate is equivalent to 0.01221 gm of BaCl 2.2H2O.

Calculations:

i) Titration Reading = A.
ii) Factor = 0.01221 gm.
iii) Wt. of sample = B.

A x Factor x 100 = C%
