Barium Chlorate - Synthesis

Synthesis

Barium chlorate can be produced through a double replacement reaction of barium chloride and sodium chlorate.

  • BaCl2 + 2 NaClO3 → Ba(ClO3)2 + 2 NaCl

It can also be produced through a more complicated non-electrolytic process.

  1. BaCl2 + Na2CO3 → BaCO3 + 2 NaCl or BaCl2 + 2 NaHCO3 → BaCO3 + 2 NaCl + H2O + CO2 — In this step barium carbonate is produced, which will be used later.
  2. C4H6O6 + NH4OH → NH4C4H5O6 + H2O — in this step ammonium bitartrate is produced.
  3. NH4C4H5O6 + KClO3 → KC4H5O6 + NH4ClO3 — in this step, the ammonium bitartrate is added to potassium chlorate, which produces potassium bitartrate, but more importantly, ammonium chlorate.
  4. 2 NH4ClO3 + BaCO3 + Q → Ba(ClO3)2 + 2 NH3 + H2O + CO2 — in this step, the ammonium chlorate is added to the barium carbonate and boiled, to produce barium chlorate.

Famous quotes containing the word synthesis:

    “The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
    —Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)

    “It is in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies. The biographer quite clearly sees Peel, say, seated on his bench while his opponents overwhelm him with perhaps undeserved censure. He sees him motionless, miserable, his head bent on his breast. He asks himself: “What is he thinking?” and he knows nothing.”
    —Andre Maurois (1885–1967)
