 | Sulfates in which both hydrogens are replaced are called normal sulfates; sulfates in which only one hydrogen is replaced are called hydrogen sulfates, acid sulfates, or bisulfates. |
 | Barium sulfate occurs as barite ; calcium sulfate is found as gypsum, alabaster, and selenite; Epsom salts is magnesium sulfate; sodium sulfate occurs as its decahydrate, Glauber's salt ; and strontium sulfate occurs as celestite. |

 | Like barium chloride it can be used to test for sulfate ion, though not at such low concentration, since strontium sulfate is more soluble than barium sulfate. |
 | Strontium Chloride is occasionally used as a flame coloring agent in pyrotechnics. |
