During the thermal decomposition of barium nitrate (Ba(NO₃)₂), the compound breaks down when heated, resulting in the formation of barium oxide (BaO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and oxygen gas (O₂). The chemical equation representing this reaction is:

Reaction Equation

2 Ba(NO₃)₂ (s) → 2 BaO (s) + 4 NO₂ (g) + O₂ (g)
