Popis: The spherulites of SrSO 3 and BaSO 3 were synthesized in agar-agar gels (0–40°C). The reactants are sodium sulfite and the chloride of the respective metals. Each spherulite consists of fibrous crystals which are arranged minutely in a radial manner from the center. A linear relation was recognized between (mean diameter) 2 and reaction time in the same manner as the CaSO 3 · 0.5H 2 O spherulite reported in our previous paper. The slopes of the lines, namely the growth rates of the spherulites, were greater in the order of calcium sulfite > strontium sulfite > barium sulfite. The ratio of (mean diameter) 2 /time was dependent upon the concentration of the agar-agar gel (0.5%–2.0%) and the reaction temperature (0–40°C); the ratios decreased linearly with an increase of the gel concentration and increased with an increase of temperature.
