Lithium perchlorate available oxygen

Lithium Perchlorate. LiC104, mw 106.40, colorless delq crysts, mp 236°, d 2.429g/cc sol in w and ale. Decompn starts at about 400° and becomes rapid at 430°, yielding LiCl and O2. It has more available 02 on a vol basis than liq 02, and is thus used in oxygen candles ... 

Lithium perchlorate, LiClO, is an oxysalt that is a colorless, deliquescent crystal. Oxysalt per-ate compounds are loaded with excess oxygen and will readily give it up in a reaction. Lithium perchlorate is a powerful oxidizing agent. It has more available oxygen than does liquid oxygen on a volume basis. Lithium perchlorate has...
