Barium azide is an inorganicazide with the formulaBa(N3)2. It is abarium salt ofhydrazoic acid. Like all azides, it is explosive. It is less sensitive to mechanical shock thanlead azide.
Barium azide may be prepared by reactingsodium azide with a soluble barium salt:[6]
Barium azide can be used to make azides ofmagnesium,sodium,potassium,lithium,rubidium andzinc with their respective sulfates.[4]
It can also be used as a source for high purity nitrogen by heating:
This reaction liberates metallic barium, which is used as agetter in vacuum applications.
