Why can't barium carbonate replace barium sulfate in stomach x-rays since both are insoluble?

Barium carbonate will react with hydrochloric acid in the stomach forming soluble barium chloride which can be absorbed into the blood.
BaCO3(aq) + 2HCl(l) ---> BaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Barium sulphate, however, does not react with hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Thus, it passes straight through the alimentary canal unchanged and the individual is not poisoned.

How the carbonate salts changes to sulfate salts?
An example of a reaction:Na2SO4 + BaCl2 - BaSO4 + 2 NaClBarium sulfate is a white precipitate.
Do insoluble calcium compounds increase the pH of acidic soils eg calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate?
Carbonate will increase soil pH value, because it reacts with acid, but sulfate will not affect the pH.
What forms when we add sodium carbonate and copper sulphate?
sodium carbonate + copper sulfate ===> copper carbonate (s) + sodium sulfateNa2CO3(aq) + CuSO4(aq) ===> CuCO3(s) + Na2SO4(aq)
What is limestone calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate?
Calcium carbonate.
What happens when sodium sulphate react with barium chloride?
sodium carbonate and barium chloride react to form sodium chloride and barium carbonate Na2CO3 +BaCl2 -------> 2NaCl +BaCO3

What are some of the insoluble salts?
Examples are: silver chloride, cadmium sulfide, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate etc.
What is sodium hydrogen carbonate plus sulfuric acid plus barium chloride?
The insoluble salt barium sulfate is obtained.
Which salts are insoluble?
- All carbonates (except ammonium, sodium & potassium carbonates) are insoluble - Lead, barium & calcium sulphates are insoluble - Lead & silver chlorides are insoluble
What forms when we add sodium carbonate and copper sulphate?
sodium carbonate + copper sulfate ===> copper carbonate (s) + sodium sulfateNa2CO3(aq) + CuSO4(aq) ===> CuCO3(s) + Na2SO4(aq)
Why is barium carbonate toxic while barium sulphate is not?
Barium sulfate is insoluble in water, while barium carbonate will dissolve. As barium carbonate dissolves in water, it dissociates, and the barium ions are freed. The barium ions are toxic, and that is the crux of the issue.
Is aluminum hydroxide soluble or insoluble?
Yes it is soluble in water
Copper sulfate and sodium carbonate physical or chemical change?
it is a chemical change Sodium carbonate + Copper sulfate react to make Sodium sulfate + Copper carbonate
What is the ionic equation of sodium carbonate?
nickel sulfate + sodium carbonate -> sodium sulfate + nickel carbonate
What is the word equation for the green precipitate of copper carbonate and sodium sulphate solution?
Copper(II) carbonate is insoluble in water and doesn't react with sodium sulfate. A green product, visible on ald objects made from copper or copper alloys, is a mixture of copper carbonate and copper hydroxide.
What is limestone calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate?
Calcium carbonate.
