Basic Copper Chlorate

[d***@gmail.com]

Made some copper chlorate one time just to see for myself what it was like, by combining solutions of barium chlorate and copper sulfate.
It is so deliquescent that it is nearly impossible to crystallize without a lab dessicator. A test strip of paper previously soaked with the solution and "dried", even damp, burned with a beautiful blue flame.

Yippee... now figure out a practical use for it in fireworks! <grin>

In some waterproofing matrix like rubber cement, I'd figure.

Very similar to barium perchlorate.
