Ammonium chlorate Ammonium chlorate Ammonium chlorate is an inorganic compound with the formula NHClO. It is obtained by neutralizing chloric acid with either ammonia or ammonium carbonate, or by precipitating barium, strontium or calcium chlorates with ammonium carbonate or ammonium sulfate, producing the respective carbonate or sulfate precipitate and an ammonium chlorate solution. Ammonium chlorate crystallizes in small needles, readily soluble in water. The bitartrate method candidate be used if exotic chlorate are inaccessible or need to be synthesized. Warm solutions of potassium chlorate and ammonium bitartrate are needed need warm solutions. The latter can be synthesized by adding aqueous ammonia to
