When heated what do metallic chlorates decompose into?

When heated, metallic chlorates decompose into metal chlorides and oxygen gas. This reaction is known as thermal decomposition, where the compound breaks down into simpler substances due to the input of heat energy.


What are some different salts?

Examples: chlorides, nitrates, phosphates, chlorates, bromides, iodides etc.


Why are salts sometimes given as chloride?

Only some salts are chlorides; but salts are also nitrates, chlorates, acetates, benzoates, phosphates, sulfates etc.


What materials can explode?

Any material that is unstable, and can drop to a lower energy level. There are far too many to list here, but they include many nitrates and chlorates.


How is bone used in making explosives?

Bone is not. Explosives are typically based on chlorates or nitrates that are chemically unstable, and can drop to a lower energy state. In doing so, they give up energy- which is the explosion.


Is firework explosion a chemical change?

Yes, the gunpowder reacts with oxygen. The oxygen comes from oxidizers perchlorates, chlorates, nitrates, permanganates, chromates or oxides.In propelling the rocket, potassium nitrate is used with black powder. Chlorates or perchlorates are used for the explosion as it reacts with carbon and sulfur rapidly. For the different colours of firework, various metal salts are used.


Why would lithium chlorate be a more practical choice for the chlorate candle?

Lithium chlorate is a more practical choice for a chlorate candle because it has a lower ignition temperature than other chlorates, making it easier to ignite. It also produces a higher energy output when burned, providing more heat for its size. Additionally, lithium chlorate has a higher stability compared to other chlorates, making it safer to handle and store.


What are the products when metallic chlorate decompose?

When metallic chlorates decompose, they typically form metal chlorides and oxygen gas. For example, when sodium chlorate decomposes, it produces sodium chloride and oxygen gas.


Is Ca(ClO3)2 soluble?

Yes, calcium chlorate (Ca(ClO3)2) is generally considered insoluble in water. Calcium chlorate is not a common compound, but in general, most metal chlorates are insoluble except for those of alkali metals and ammonium.


Is MgClO42 insoluble or soluble?

Magnesium chlorate (Mg(ClO₃)₂) is generally considered soluble in water. Most chlorates, including magnesium chlorate, dissolve readily in water, making them soluble. Therefore, Mg(ClO₃)₂ can be expected to be soluble in aqueous solutions.
