Barium bromide Barium bromide Barium bromide is the chemical compound with the formula BaBr. Like barium chloride, it dissolves well in water and is toxic in aqueous solution. BaBr crystallizes in a lead chloride motif, giving white orthorhombic crystals which are deliquescent. In aqueous solution BaBr behaves as a simple salt. Barium bromide reacts with the sulfate ion from sulfuric acid to produce a precipitate of barium sulfate. Similar reactions occur with oxalic acid, hydrofluoric acid, and phosphoric acid. Barium bromide can be prepared from barium sulfide or barium carbonate via reaction with hydrobromic acid to give hydrated barium bromide. This happens
Chemical element "sulfur" over the British "sulphur". However, elements that are practical to sell in bulk in many countries often still have locally used national names, and countries whose national language does not use the Latin alphabet are likely to use the IUPAC element names. According to IUPAC, chemical elements are not proper nouns in English; consequently, the full name of an element is not routinely capitalized in English, even if derived from a proper noun, as in californium and einsteinium. Isotope names of chemical elements are also uncapitalized if written out, "e.g.," carbon-12 or uranium-235. Chemical element "symbols" (such as Cf
