How to prepare 10 percent barium chloride solution

Preparation and standardisation of 0.05 M Barium Chloride solution using Disodium edetate and Metalphthalein as indicator used in pharmaceutical analysis.

  • Dissolve 12.2 g of barium chloride in sufficient water to produce 1000 ml.
  • Standardize the solution in the following manner.

  • To 10.0 ml of the solution add 60 ml of water, 3 ml of strong ammonia solution and 0.5 to 1 mg of metalphthalein as an indicator.
  • Titrate with 0.05 M disodium edetate. 
  • As the solution begins to decolorize, add 50 ml of ethanol (95 %) and titrate until the bluish violet color is discharged.
  • 1 ml of 0.05 M disodium edetate is equivalent to 0.012215 g of BaCl2.2H20.

To prepare 1000 mL of a 0.1 mol/L solution of AlCl3 we have to dissolve 24.1433 g of AlCl3×6H2O (96 % purity) in deionized or distilled water. After the solid is completely dissolved, dilute the solution to a final volume with deionized (distilled) water. we will need to dilute 13.72 mL of 73 % AlCl3×6H2O to a final volume with deionized (distilled) water.

  • Transfer the prepared solution to a clean, dry storage bottle and label it. Never store solutions in a volumetric flask.
  • All chemicals that you are unfamiliar with should be treated with extreme care and assumed to be highly flammable and toxic.
  • We provide the calculator as a public service only and you use it at your own risk. If you don't understand the results, DON'T use them.
