Its heat of formation is −382.75 kJ mol−1. ==Uses== Sodium perchlorate is the precursor to many other perchlorate salts, often taking advantage of their low solubility relative to NaClO4 (209 g/100 ml at 25 °C). Perchloric acid is made by treating NaClO4 with HCl. NaClO4 finds only minimal use in pyrotechnics because it is hygroscopic; ammoni... Found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_perchlorate
