Ammonium chlorate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Ammonium chlorate is an ammonium compound with a molecular formula of NH4ClO3. It is a colorless or white crystal that is soluble in water. Ammonium chlorate is a strong oxidizer and, when contaminated with combustible materials, can spontaneously ignite. It is shock sensitive and can detonate when exposed to heat or vibration. One of its primary uses is in the manufacture of explosives.

Chemical Properties

Colorless or white crystals, water solu- ble.

Uses

Explosives.

Hazard

Spontaneous chemical reaction with reduc- ing agents. Powerful oxidizer. When contaminated with combustible materials, it can ignite. Shock sen- sitive; can detonate when exposed to heat or vibra- tion, especially when contaminated.

Safety Profile

A powerful oxidizer. Moderately flammable due to spontaneous chemical reaction. Explosion hazard due to shock, chemical reaction, or exposure to heat. A storage hazard; it map explode at room temperature. Explodes when heated to 100°C. When contaminat-ed it is very sensitive. Solution in water may explode if heated or dried. When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of Cland NOx. Incompat-ible with reducing materials; BrF3; BrFj.
