Barium chromate, named barium tetraoxochromate(VI) by the IUPAC, is a yellow sand-like powder with the formula BaCrO4. It is a known oxidising agent and produces a green flame when heated, a result of the barium ions. Barium chromate (BaCrO4) is commonly used as a pigment in paints, ceramics, and glass, providing vibrant colour and corrosion resistance. It is also employed in safety matches, as an oxidising agent, and in pyrotechnics. It is considered hazardous due to its toxicity and potential carcinogenic properties, requiring careful handling and adherence to safety regulations to avoid health risks.
