Barium Chloride Dihydrate is the dihydrate form of barium chloride. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula BaCl₂·2H₂O. It is one of the most common water-soluble barium salts and consists of barium chloride combined with two molecules of water of crystallization. It is appears as white to colorless crystalline crystals with a characteristic bitter, salty taste. It dissolves easily in water and is hygroscopic, so that it can be obtained in a stable hydrated crystalline form under normal conditions. It is a barium salt and an inorganic chloride with well-defined physicochemical properties that make it an important compound in laboratory and industrial chemistry.

Barium Chloride Dihydrate is a potassium channel blocker used in electrophysiology research, neuroscience studies, for preparation of artificial cerebrospinal fluid, and as a laboratory reagent in analytical and chemical research.
Anhydrous barium chloride (BaCl₂) is an inorganic, colorless and imparts a yellow-green coloration to a flame compound and contains no water molecules, while barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl₂·2H₂O) contains two molecules of water of crystallization. Both give barium ions but differ in molecular weight and state of hydration.
Barium Chloride Dihydrate is an inorganic compound. It is the hydrated form of barium chloride (BaClâ‚‚), one of the most common water-soluble barium salts, containing two molecules of water of crystallization. It is widely used in laboratory and industrial applications.
Barium Chloride Dihydrate dissolves in water to give barium ions and chloride ions, while the water molecules become part of the solvent.
