A barium meal before an X-ray is used to diagnose cancers and ulcers in the intestine or stomach (Figure 17.15). The patient drinks a barium meal (barium sulfate and water) before having the X-ray taken. Aqueous barium ions, Ba (aq), are highly toxic. However, the barium meal is not poisonous because barium sulfate is highly insoluble - this is indicated by its very low solubility product (K p = 1.08 x 10 - IB Chemistry data booklet).
