Calcium chlorate is the calcium salt of chloric acid, with the chemical formula Ca(ClO3)2. Like other chlorates, it is a strong oxidizer.

Production

Calcium chlorate is produced by passing chlorine gas through a hot suspension of calcium hydroxide in water, producing calcium hypochlorite, which disproportionates when heated with excess chlorine to give calcium chlorate and calcium chloride:[1]

6 Ca(OH)2 + 6 Cl2 → Ca(ClO3)2 + 5 CaCl2 + 6 H2O

This is also the first step of the Liebig process for the manufacture of potassium chlorate.[citation needed]

In theory, electrolysis of hot calcium chloride solution will produce the chlorate salt,[citation needed] analogous to the process used for the manufacture of sodium chlorate. In practice, electrolysis is complicated by calcium hydroxide depositing on the cathode, preventing the flow of current.

Reactions

When concentrated solutions of calcium chlorate and potassium chloride are combined, potassium chlorate precipitates:[1][2]

Ca(ClO3)2 + 2 KCl → 2 KClO3 + CaCl2

This is the second step of the Liebig process for the manufacture of potassium chlorate.[2]

Solutions of calcium chlorate react with solutions of alkali carbonates to give a precipitate of calcium carbonate and the alkali chlorate in solution:

Ca(ClO3)2 + Na2CO3 → 2 NaClO3 + CaCO3

On strong heating, calcium chlorate decomposes to give oxygen and calcium chloride:

Ca(ClO3)2 → CaCl2 + 3 O2

Cold, dilute solutions of calcium chlorate and sulfuric acid react to give a precipitate of calcium sulfate and chloric acid in solution:[3]

Ca(ClO3)2 + H2SO4 → 2 HClO3 + CaSO4

Contact with strong sulfuric acid can result in explosions[4] due to the instability of concentrated chloric acid. Contact with ammonium compounds can also cause violent decomposition due to the formation of unstable ammonium chlorate.[4]

Uses

Calcium chlorate has been used as an herbicide,[citation needed] like sodium chlorate.

Calcium chlorate is occasionally used in pyrotechnics,[citation needed] as an oxidizer and pink flame colorant. Its hygroscopic nature and incompatibility with other common pyrotechnic materials (such as sulfur) limit its utility in these applications.
