Chlorate is the common name of the ClO − 3 anion, whose chlorine atom is in the +5 oxidation state.The term can also refer to chemical compounds containing this anion, with chlorates being the salts of chloric acid.
Chlorates are salts of chloric acid. They contain the (ClO 3 −) anion. The stock naming convention distinguishes four chlorates, based on the oxidation state of the chlorine within the oxyanion. The stock and common names are: Chlorate(I) = Hypochlorite; Chlorate(III) = Chlorite; Chlorate(V) = Chlorate; Chlorate(VII) = Perchlorate
Sodium chlorate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na ClO 3.It is a white crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water. It is hygroscopic.It decomposes above 300 °C to release oxygen [4] and leaves sodium chloride.
Potassium chlorate is the inorganic compound with the molecular formula KClO 3.In its pure form, it is a white solid. After sodium chlorate, it is the second most common chlorate in industrial use.
Perchlorate salts are typically manufactured through the process of electrolysis, which involves oxidizing aqueous solutions of corresponding chlorates.This technique is commonly employed in the production of sodium perchlorate, which finds widespread use as a key ingredient in rocket fuel. [5]
The chlorate must be dissolved in boiling water and the acid should be somewhat diluted in water and heated before mixing. Another method which can be used to produce solutions up to 10% concentration is by the use of cation exchange resins and a soluble salt such as NaClO 3, where the Na+ cation will exchange with H+.

Sodium perchlorate is the precursor to ammonium, potassium and lithium perchlorate salts, often taking advantage of their low solubility in water relative to NaClO 4 (209 g/(100 mL) at 25 °C). [6] It is used for denaturating proteins in biochemistry and in standard DNA extraction and hybridization reactions in molecular biology.
