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.
- 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.
- C4H6O6 + NH4OH → NH4C4H5O6 + H2O — in this step ammonium bitartrate is produced.
- NH4C4H5O6 + KClO3 → KC4H5O6 + NH4ClO3 — in this step, the ammonium bitartrate is added to potassium chlorate, which produces potassium bitartrate, but more importantly, ammonium chlorate.
- 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:
“It is not easy to construct by mere scientific synthesis a foolproof system which will lead our children in a desired direction and avoid an undesirable one. Obviously, good can come only from a continuing interplay between that which we, as students, are gradually learning and that which we believe in, as people.”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
“In order to begin an analysis, there must already be a synthesis present in the mind.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“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)
