BaSO₄ is relatively harmless, but BaS is highly toxic.
BaSO₄ is quite insoluble (240 µg/100 mL). It is a <em>mild irritant</em> in cases of skin contact and inhalation. However, it is <em>safe enough</em> that health professionals ask patients to drink a suspension of BaSO₄. The Ba is opaque to X-rays, so it makes the stomach and intestines more visible to radiographers.
BaS is soluble (7.7 g/100 mL). It reacts slowly with water and more rapidly in the acid conditions of the stomach to <em>release H₂S</em>.
BaS + 2HCl ⟶ BaCl₂ + H₂S
An H₂S concentration of 60 mg/100 mL can be <em>fatal within 30 min</em>.
<em>Don’t eat barium sulfide!</em>
<u>Answer: </u>
A sample initially contained 150 mg of radon-222. After 11.4 days only 18.75mg of the radon-222 in the sample remained where 3 half-lives have passed
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given, the initial value of the sample, 
= 150mg
Final value of the sample or the quantity left, A = 18.75mg
Time = 11.4 days
The amount left after first half life will be ½.
The number of half-life is calculated by the formula
where N is the no. of half life
Substituting the values,
On equating, we get, N = 3
Therefore, 3 half-lives have passed.
Answer:
2) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.
Explanation:
The more electronegative the element is the more strong or acidic it becomes.
Chlorine being more electronegative than Iodine makes it easier for it to pull the electron of hydrogen more strongly and hence has a higher tendency to release a H+ unit. Hence that makes it stronger.
In a heterogeneous mixture the materials are mixed together and will be easily separated. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". An example of a heterogeneous mixture is a bowl of colored candies. I hope the answer helps you.
