What do you do with a dead chemist?

Ah...science jokes. A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of Adenosine triphosphate. The bar tender says "that'll be 80p". (ATP...80p...get it?). The joke referred to in the title, however, was part of a larger, chemistry riddle, which formed one of the rounds of the Cambridge Chemistry challenge - http://www.c3l6.org/ , if you fancy giving it a try. Although the questions are challenging, you're allowed to use anything you like to find the answers along the way, and they're interesting brain-teasers.
However, my dear imaginary reader (I've decided on Emmeline. Hope it suits), if you are still wondering just what one WOULD do with a dead chemist, I'll give you this one. You Barium.
