Physical and Chemical Properties | Barium sulfite is a colorless hexagonal crystal or powder, which is easily soluble in hydrochloric acid and insoluble in water. It decomposes by heating and decreases in solubility with increasing temperature. Preparation method: It is prepared by the reaction of barium hydroxide, water and sulfur dioxide, or by the reaction of barium hydroxide and potassium bisulfite. |
