Description
Chloric acid, HClO3, is an oxoacid of chloride, and
the formal precursor of chlorate salts. It is a strong
acid (pKa＝-1) and a strong oxidizing agent. It is stable
in cold aqueous solution up to a concentration of
approximately 30%, and solution of up to 40% can be
prepared by careful evaporation under reduced pressure.
Above these concentrations, and on warming,
chloric acid solutions decompose to give a variety of
products, for example:
8HClO3→4HClO4＋2H2O＋2Cl2＋3O2
Note that it disproportionates into perchloric acid
in which the chlorine atom has a＋7 oxidation state
and also the zero oxidation state of chlorine gas (an
oxidation–reduction reaction). Thus, under the proper
conditions, it can also be used to make perchloric acid.
3HClO3→HClO4＋H2O＋2ClO2

Uses
Oxidizing agent; with H2SO3 as catalyst in acrylonitrile polymerization.
