Useful:

• Chemical Classes: Metals -> Metals, Inorganic Compounds
• Canonical SMILES: [N+](=O)([O-])[O-].[N+](=O)([O-])[O-].[Ba+2]
• Inhalation Risk: Evaporation at 20 °C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.
• Effects of Short Term Exposure: The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Exposure could cause hypokalaemia. This may result in cardiac disorders and muscular disorders. Exposure could cause death.
• Description: Barium nitrate is a stable, strong oxidiser. It is incompatible with combustible material, reducing agents, acids, acid anhydrides, and moisture-sensitive substance. Barium nitrate is poisonous, is a respiratory irritant, and is hazardous if mixed with flammable materials. Barium oxide plus zinc, aluminium and magnesium alloys are combustibles (paper, oil, wood), acids, and oxidisers and is hazardous. Mixtures with finely divided aluminium–magnesium alloys are easily ignitable and extremely sensitive to friction or impact. Barium nitrate mixed with aluminium powder, a formula for flash powder, is highly explosive. However, barium nitrate is noncorrosive in presence of glass. It is used in military thermite grenades, in the manufacturing process of barium oxide, in the vacuum tube industry, and in pyrotechnics for green flame.
• Physical properties: Barium nitrate has the molecular formula of Ba(NO3)2 and the molecular weight of 261.3745 g/mol. It is also known as “nitrobarite”. Its CAS number is 10022-31-8. It is soluble in water. It can be prepared by a number of methods. The reaction between nitric acid and barium metal is one way and reaction with BaO or BaCO3 is another. Barium hydroxide and ammonium nitrate also form the product but ammonia is released as a by-product: 2HNO3 + Ba ---> Ba(NO3)2 +H2 2HNO3 + BaO ---> Ba(NO3)2 +H2O Ba(OH)2 + 2NH4NO3 ---> Ba(NO3)2 + 2NH3 + 2H2O Barium nitrate can also be prepared by the reaction of barium carbonate or barium carbonate with nitric acid: BaCO3 + 2HNO3 ---> Ba(NO3)2 + CO2 +H2O
• Uses: Barium nitrate is used in industry in the production of green signal lights, to remove gases from vacuum tubes, and in the production of barium oxide. Barium nitrate [Ba(NO3)2] burns with a bright green flame and is used in signal flares and pyrotechnics. It can be produced by treating barium carbonate with nitric acid. manufacture of BaO2; pyrotechnics for green fire; green signal lights; in the vacuum-tube industry.
