Cadmium acetate is a chemical compound of cadmium and a salt of acetic acid with the constitutional formula Cd (CH 3 COO) 2 . It is a white, hygroscopic substance with a typical, slightly vinegar-like odor.
Extraction and presentation
Cadmium acetate dihydrate precipitates from an aqueous acetic acid solution. It can be obtained directly from cadmium nitrate and acetic anhydride .
properties
At 130 ° C, cadmium acetate hydrate releases the water of crystallization and the anhydrous cadmium acetate is formed. It dissolves in water with a neutral pH . It is also readily soluble in ethanol .
use
Cadmium acetate is used in porcelain production to create iridescent effects. In addition, it is a reagent in analytical chemistry for the detection of sulfur , selenium and tellurium .
