Carl Wilhelm Scheele (German:, Swedish: [ˈɧêːlɛ]; 9 December 1742 – 21 May 1786 [2]) was a German Swedish [3] pharmaceutical chemist.. Scheele discovered oxygen (although Joseph Priestley published his findings first), and identified molybdenum, tungsten, barium, nitrogen, and chlorine, among others.
Barium found in the Earth's crust is a mixture of seven primordial nuclides, barium-130, 132, and 134 through 138. [15] Barium-130 undergoes very slow radioactive decay to xenon -130 by double beta plus decay , with a half-life of (0.5–2.7)×10 21 years (about 10 11 times the age of the universe).
Lye – potash in a water solution, formed by leaching wood ashes. Potash – potassium carbonate, formed by evaporating lye; also called salt of tartar. K 2 CO 3; Pearlash – formed by baking potash in a kiln. Milk of sulfur (lac sulphuris) – formed by adding an acid to thion hudor (lime sulfur). Natron/soda ash/soda – sodium carbonate ...
This nuclide decays by double electron capture (absorbing two electrons and emitting two neutrinos), with a half-life of (0.5–2.7)×10 21 years (about 10 11 times the age of the universe). There are a total of thirty-three known radioisotopes in addition to 130 Ba.
BaS + H 2 SO 4 → BaSO 4 + H 2 S. Barium sulfate produced in this way is often called blanc fixe, which is French for "permanent white". Blanc fixe is the form of barium encountered in consumer products, such as paints. [5] In the laboratory barium sulfate is generated by combining solutions of barium ions and sulfate salts.
Wollaston discovered and isolated it from crude platinum samples from South America. [116] 53 Iodine: 1811 B. Courtois: 1811 B. Courtois Courtois discovered it in the ashes of seaweed. [117] The name iode was given in French by Gay-Lussac and published in 1813. [52] Davy gave it the English name iodine in 1814. [52] 3 Lithium: 1817 A. Arfwedson ...
Scientists discovered a method to create element 116 using a titanium beam, paving the way for future synthesis of element 120, the "holy grail" of chemistry.
Barium hydroxide is used in analytical chemistry for the titration of weak acids, particularly organic acids. Its aqueous solution, if clear, is guaranteed to be free of carbonate, unlike those of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide , as barium carbonate is insoluble in water.
