(8) Special reactions. If the alumina residue obtained be moistened with cobalt solution and heated strongly, it a.s.sumes a beautiful blue color.
BARYTA AND STRONTIA.
Mineral. Heavy-spar
Formula. [.Ba][...S].
Behavior
(1) in gla.s.s-bulb. Sometimes decrepitates and gives off more or less water
(2) in open tube. --
(3) on charcoal. Fuses in the reducing flame.
(4) in forceps. Fuses with difficulty on edges. Colors the outer flame green. In reducing flame forms BaS, which fuses readily.
(5) in borax. Gives the baryta-reaction.
(6) in mic. salt. As in borax.
(7) with carb. soda. Fuses to a clear bead; then spreads out and is absorbed into the charcoal. The fused ma.s.s laid on silver gives the S-reaction.
(8) Special reactions. If fused with pota.s.sa on platinum, gives the SO^{3}-reaction.
Mineral. Celestine
Formula. [.Sr][...S].
