Talk:Barium nitrate

creep?
Can anyone substantiate this claim:
 * Barium nitrate is known for its tendency to "creep" up and spill out of containers.

stats
Specific gravity 3.2, melting point 592 C, decomposes before boiling from Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 34th edition.

Old educational joke
My excellent high-school chemistry teacher, Mr. Miller, told us that barium nitrate was an undertaker's special. "Night rates are always cheaper than day rates." David R. Ingham 04:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Safety Data
The safety data appears to have been copied from the MSDS at http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/B0432.htm. Apart from being plagiarism, the section is hard to read. I will try to clean it up, reword the information, and add a source. --Pyrochem 01:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I made the information into a paragraph, reworded it, and added a source. The symptoms list is still the same, but it's hard to change that without altering the factual data. --Pyrochem 02:01, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Red?
I thought Strontium nitrate burned red, not green --as in your "fireworks" heading?70.171.235.197 (talk) 16:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
