Barium ferrate purity of the synthesized barium ferrate by performing the reaction at low temperature in the absence of carbon dioxide and by rapidly filtering and drying the precipitate. Addition of a soluble sodium barium salt to an alkali metal ferrate solution produces a maroon precipitate of barium ferrate, a crystal which has the same structure as barium chromate and has approximately the same solubility. The wet method employs chemical and electrochemical techniques. Barium ferrate, BaFeO can be prepared by adding barium oxide to a mixture NaClO and ferric nitrate at room temperature (29± 1 °C). The precipitate formed can then be
Sterling silver Royal Mint in 1843. It bears the royal stamp "ENRI. REX" ("King Henry") but this was added later, in the reign of Henry III. The first legal definition of sterling silver appeared in 1275, when a statute of Edward I specified that 12 Troy ounces of silver for coinage should contain 11 ounces pennyweights of silver and pennyweights of alloy, with 20 pennyweights to the Troy ounce. This is (not precisely) equivalent to a millesimal fineness of 926. In Colonial America, sterling silver was used for currency and general goods as well. Between 1634 and 1776, some 500 silversmiths created
