Barium chloride (BaCl₂) is a white crystalline compound highly soluble in water, commonly employed in laboratory tests for sulfate ions due to the formation of insoluble barium sulfate. Beyond its analytical applications, barium chloride finds use in industry, contributing to the production of pigments, dyes, and other barium compounds, as well as in processes such as the case-hardening of steel and refining of sugar.

Barium chloride (BaCl₂) is a white crystalline compound highly soluble in water, commonly employed in laboratory tests for sulfate ions due to the formation of insoluble barium sulfate. Beyond its analytical applications, barium chloride finds use in industry, contributing to the production of pigments, dyes, and other barium compounds, as well as in processes such as the case-hardening of steel and refining of sugar. In the realm of pyrotechnics, barium chloride imparts a green hue to fireworks when burned. Additionally, it plays a role in medical imaging procedures, with barium sulfate, a derivative, enhancing visibility in X-ray examinations. Caution is advised in handling barium chloride due to the toxicity associated with barium compounds, necessitating adherence to safety protocols during its use.
For many learners high school is not enough to prepare them for what they are to face at first year university. They find themselves completely overwhelmed and intimidated by what is expected of them to be able to do in a laboratory.
Unfortunately many learners who want to pursue science subjects go through this dilemma, few as they are because fact is SA is not producing enough learners who will become engineers, doctors, science researchers, let alone science innovators.
To address this, we developed a chemistry kits with 52 experiments for use by learners at home. This gives them an opportunity to gain hand-on exposure and engagement, confidence and understanding they need to study sciences further.
The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school.
Some schools do have kits where only the teacher demonstrates the experiments and this is great, but you don’t master driving by watching the driving instructor, you must get in the driver’s seat yourself.
