Encyclopedic overview
Barium chlorate, Ba(ClO3)2, is the barium salt of chloric acid. It commonly exists as the monohydrate, Ba(ClO3)2·H2O. It is a white crystalline solid, and like all soluble barium compounds, toxic. It is sometimes used in pyrotechnics to produce a green colour. It also finds use in the production of chloric acid.
