Usage examples of baryta.
From baryta, which it also resembles, it is distinguished by not yielding an insoluble chromate in an acetic acid solution, by the solubility of its chloride in alcohol, and by the fact that its sulphate is converted into carbonate on boiling with a solution formed of 3 parts of potassium carbonate and 1 of potassium sulphate.
In the absence of baryta or lime it is filtered off, and weighed as strontium carbonate, which contains 70.
Chromate of baryta is then thrown down, by the addition of bichromate of potash, as a yellow precipitate.
A correction must be made to counteract the effect of impurities in the baryta as well as errors inherent in the process.
Nitrate of baryta will show the presence of sulphuric acid, and nitrate of silver of hydrochloric acid.
