Vanadyl Oxalate(CAS#15500-04-6 )
Vanadyl Oxalate(CAS#15500-04-6 ) introduction
Vanadium oxalate is an inorganic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of vanadium oxalate:
Quality:
- Vanadium oxalate is a dark red solid that is soluble in water and acidic solutions, but insoluble in non-polar solvents such as ethanol and ether.
- It has strong reducing and oxidizing properties and can act as an oxidizing agent or reducing agent in chemical reactions.
Use:
- Oxalate vanadium oxide is often used as a catalyst or mordant in chemical laboratories.
Method:
There are two main preparation methods for vanadium oxalate:
By the reaction of sodium vanadate and oxalic acid in aqueous solution, it is obtained:
Na3VO4 + 3H2C2O4 → VO(OH)(C2O4) + 3NaHC2O4 + 2H2O
By the reaction of vanadium oxide and oxalic acid in an acidic solution, the following results are obtained:
V2O5 + 4H2C2O4 + 2H2O → 2VO(OH)(C2O4) + 4H2O
Safety Information:
- Inhalation of dust or solutions of vanadium oxalate may cause respiratory irritation and should be operated in a well-ventilated area.
- Care should be taken to avoid contact with ignition sources or oxidants when storing and handling vanadium oxalate to prevent fire or explosion.
