Copper(II) Chlorate

Copper(II) Chlorate is a water soluble copper salt of chloric acid. Copper chlorate is a strong oxidizer and is somewhat hygroscopic. It forms light blue crystals and is most commonly found in it tetrahydrate form although this form is useless for pyrotechnics. It has very few uses apart from pyrotechnics.

Synthesis
Copper(II) Chlorate is easily made by double displacement of Copper(II) Sulfate and Barium or Calcium Chlorate. Thiswill result in the hydrated form of copper chlorate.
