Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Barium sulfate (or sulphate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula BaSO4. It is a white crystalline solid that is odorless and insoluble in water. It occurs as the mineral barite, which is the main commercial source of barium and materials prepared from it.

Answer 2

The barium

Step-by-step explanation:

Barium is an alkaline earth metal that has toxic properties. It is the alkaline used in the composition of barium sulfate which is used as a contrast in stomach and intestine radiographs. This procedure presents no danger, as this sulfide is insoluble, that is, it will not be absorbed by the stomach.

Barium is a toxic chemical element, silvery in appearance, with a high melting point, which can be found in the mineral barite, not being found free in nature, due to its high reactivity.
