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
Sterling silver artisan, his success partly due to this strategic investment. Although he is celebrated for his beautiful hollowware, Revere made his fortune primarily on low-end goods produced by the mill, such as flatware. With the onset of the first Industrial Revolution, silversmithing declined as an artistic occupation. From about 1840 to 1940 in the United States and Europe, sterling silver cutlery (US: 'flatware') became "de rigueur" when setting a proper table. There was a marked increase in the number of silver companies that emerged during that period. The height of the silver craze was during the 50-year period from 1870 to
