Barium chloride 10% refers to a solution of barium chloride dissolved in a solvent, typically water, in a concentration of 10%. Barium chloride (BaCl2) is a chemical compound composed of barium and chloride ions.
In its 10% concentration, barium chloride is prepared by dissolving 10 grams of the compound in a sufficient amount of water to make a total solution volume of 100 milliliters (or any other equivalent ratio, such as 1 gram in 10 milliliters). The resulting solution contains 10% (w/v) of barium chloride, indicating that 10 grams of the compound are present in every 100 milliliters of the solution.
