Barium oxalate Barium oxalate Barium oxalate (BaCO), a barium salt of oxalic acid, is a white odorless powder that is sometimes used as a green pyrotechnic colorant generally in specialized pyrotechnic compositions containing magnesium. Though largely stable, barium oxalate can be reactive with strong acids. A mild skin irritant, the substance is considered toxic when ingested, causing nausea, vomiting, renal failure, and injury to the gastrointestinal tract. It is different from most pyrotechnic colorants in that it is a reducing agent and not an oxidizing agent. It is extremely insoluble in water and converts to the oxide form when heated. The raw
Lithium chlorate density flow batteries. Lithium chlorate has a very low melting point for an inorganic ionic salt. Lithium chlorate Lithium chlorate is the inorganic chemical compound with the formula LiClO. Like all chlorates, it is an oxidizer and may become unstable and possibly explosive if mixed with organic materials, reactive metal powders, or sulfur. It can be manufactured by the reaction of hot, concentrated lithium hydroxide with chlorine: 3 Cl + 6 LiOH → 5 LiCl + LiClO + 3 HO Lithium chlorate has a very high solubility in water. It is also a 6-electron oxidant. Its electrochemical reduction is facilitated
