| | BARIUM PERCHLORATE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | White Crystalline Powder | | Uses | Ribonuclease determination and effective desiccant. | | Uses | In the determination of ribonuclease; as absorbent for water in C and H analysis. | | Uses | Barium perchlorate, anhydrous is used to make explosives. It is also used as desiccant, ribonuclease determination. | | General Description | A white crystalline solid. Noncombustible, but accelerates burning of combustible materials. May explode if large quantities are involved in a fire or the combustible material is finely divided. Prolonged exposure to fire or heat may result in an explosion. Used to make explosives. | | Air & Water Reactions | Water soluble. | | Reactivity Profile | Reflux heating of BARIUM PERCHLORATE with alcohols yields perchlorate esters, which are highly explosive [Kirk-Othmer 2nd ed. 5:75 1963]. A strong oxidizing agent. May react violently with organic materials. | | Health Hazard | Inhalation or contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. Ingestion causes excessive salivation, vomiting, colic, diarrhea, convulsive tremors, slow, hard pulse, and elevated blood pressure; hemorrhages may occur in the stomach, intestines, and kidneys; muscular paralysis may follow. | | Fire Hazard | Behavior in Fire: Increases the intensity of fire. Containers may explode. | | Safety Profile | A poison. An unstable material. An oxidizer. When refluxed with an alcohol highly explosive alkyl perchlorates are formed. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. A desiccant. See also PERCHLORATES and BARIUM COMPOUNDS. | | Purification Methods | Recrystallise the perchlorate twice from water.
