Barium oxalate materials that are required to prepare barium oxalate are oxalic acid and barium hydroxide (or its octahydrate). It can also be prepared by using an oxalic acid solution and a barium chloride solution, with the reaction as follows: 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
Silver chlorate Silver chlorate Silver chlorate (AgClO) forms white, tetragonal crystals. Like all chlorates, it is water-soluble and an oxidizing agent. As a simple metal salt, it is a common chemical in basic inorganic chemistry experiments. It is light-sensitive, so it must be stored in tightly closed dark-coloured containers. The substance exhibits blasting properties, therefore it is sometimes used as a primary explosive. Silver(I) means silver is in its normal +1 oxidation state. Silver chlorate is produced by the reaction of silver nitrate with sodium chlorate to produce both silver chlorate and sodium nitrate. Alternatively, it may be produced by the transmission
