Barium chlorate, Ba

Molecular weight 322.26, colourless, monoclinic crystals, specific gravity 3.18, it becomes anhydrous at 120°C and melts at 414°C. When it is heated above the melting point, it decomposes, generating oxygen as follows  

The powder cakes in much the same way as potassium chlorate. 

Barium chlorate alone explodes on strong impact, but no reaction could be initiated with a No.6 detonator. 

Barium chlorate burns well in combination with shellac in a weight ratio 10 2,producing a beautiful green coloured flame. The spectrum consists of three clear bands of BaCl molecules, thus it has the ability to produce green colour even in low temperature class flames (without magnesium as 

The oxygen obtained on burning amounts 0.298grams per 1 gram of barium chlorate.

Barium chlorate, Ba(C103)2, is a colorless solid with a monocUnic crystal structure. It decomposes thermally above its melting-point temperature of 687 K according to ... 

Barium nitrate - Ba(N03)2 - and barium chlorate - Ba(C o3)2 are used most often to produce green flames, serving both as the oxidizer and color source. Barium chlorate can produce a deep green, but it is somewhat unstable and can form explosive mixtures with good fuels. Barium nitrate produces an acceptable green color, and it is considerably safer to work with due to its...

Barium nitrate, Ba(N03)2, and barium chlorate, Ba(C10 )9, are used for producing green fire in fireworks. 

Sodium chlorate, NaC103 potassium chlorate, KCI03 silver chlorate, AgCIOj and barium chlorate, Ba(CIOj)2, oxidize organic compounds only in the presence of catalysts, usually osmium tetroxide [310, 714, 715, 716, 718] or vanadium pentoxide [716, 718]. Because such oxidations do not occur without catalysts, it is likely that the real oxidants are osmium tetroxide and vanadium pentoxide, respectively, and that the function of the chlorates is reoxidation.
