Barium azide is an inorganic azide with the formula Ba(N3)2. Like most azides, it is explosive. It is less sensitive to mechanical shock than lead azide.
Uses[]
Barium azide can be used to make azides of , sodium, potassium, lithium, rubidium and zinc with their respective sulfates.[4]
- Ba(N3)2 + Li2SO4 → 2LiN3 + BaSO4
It can also be used as a source for high pure nitrogen by heating:
- Ba(N3)2 → Ba + 3N2
This reaction liberates metallic barium, which is used as a getter in vacuum applications.
