Close

While pure radium chlorate has never been prepared,[1] it is known to form coprecipitates using barium chlorate as a carrier.[2] These react with excess ammoniacal ammonium carbonate to form a mixed precipitate of radium carbonate with barium carbonate.[2]

Predicted values of its thermodynamic properties are available from Lowson (1985).[3]

Synthesis

Solutions containing radium chlorate may be obtained by dissolving soluble radium salts in a solution of barium chlorate:[2]

Ra2+ + Ba(ClO3)2 → Ra(ClO3)2 + Ba2+

Applications

It is claimed to have application in the production of self luminous watch components.[4]
