Decomposition
When exposed to heat, barium chlorate alone will decompose in this reaction:
- Ba(ClO3)2→BaCl2+3O2
Barium chlorate also participated in double replacement reactions with multiple other compounds in order to decompose and produce energy:
- Ba(ClO3)2 + H2SO4 → BaSO4 + HClO3
- 3Ba(ClO3)2(aq) + 2 Na3PO4(aq) ---> Ba3(PO4)2 (s) + 6 NaClO3(aq)
