Which of the following sulphates is useful in diagnosing stomach or duodenal ulcers ?A. `BaSO_(4)`B. `SrSO_(4)`C. `CaSO_(4)`D. `MgSO_(4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`BaSO_(4)` is both insoluble in water and opaque to X rays. Thus, it is used as a barium meal to provide a shadow of the stomach or duodenum on an X-ray picture, which is useful in diagosing stomach or duodenal ulcers. The practically no solubility of `BaSO_(4)` in water is used to detect as well as estimate `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions.
