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>.

Answer:
a. 52.8
Explanation:
To find the number of moles of HCl we use the relation M₁V₁=M₂V₂
where M₁ is the initial molarity, M₂ the new molarity, V₁ the initial volume used, and V₂ the final volume obtained.
M₁=7.91 M
M₂=2.13 M
V₁=?
V₂=196.1 mL
Replacing these values in the relationship.
M₁V₁=M₂V₂
7.91 M× V₁=2.13 M×196.1 mL
V₁=(2.13 M×196.1 mL)/7.91 M
=52.8 mL
Answer:
They attract or repel other charged objects without touching them.
Explanation:
My chemistry teacher always says like repels like opposite attracts.
