A metal ion in aqueous solution or aqua ion is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(H 2 O) n] z+.The solvation number, n, determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li + and Be 2+ and 6 for most elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table.
Heavy metals is a controversial and ambiguous term [2] for metallic elements with relatively high densities, atomic weights, or atomic numbers.The criteria used, and whether metalloids are included, vary depending on the author and context and it has been argued that the term "heavy metal" should be avoided.
White lead – carbonate of lead, a toxic pigment, produced by corroding stacks of lead plates with dilute vinegar beneath a heap of moistened wood shavings. (replaced by blanc fixe & lithopone) Venetian white – formed from equal parts of white lead and barium sulfate. Zaffre – impure cobalt arsenate, formed after roasting cobalt ore.
The model is defined in terms of a list of those complex species which are present in solutions in significant amounts. In the present context the complex species have the general formula [M p O q (OH) r] n±. where p, q and r define the stoichiometry of the species and n± gives the electrical charge of the ion. The experimental data are ...
Aluminium chloride, also known as aluminium trichloride, is an inorganic compound with the formula AlCl 3. It forms a hexahydrate with the formula [Al(H 2 O) 6 ]Cl 3 , containing six water molecules of hydration .
Smelting produces metals from raw ore, and involves adding chemicals to the ore and heating it up to the melting point of the metal. Refining is used primarily in the petroleum industry, whereby crude oil is heated and separated into stages according to the condensation points of the various elements.
A metalloid is a chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals.The word metalloid comes from the Latin metallum ("metal") and the Greek oeides ("resembling in form or appearance"). [1]
PbCl 2 is used in synthesis of lead(IV) chloride (PbCl 4): Cl 2 is bubbled through a saturated solution of PbCl 2 in aqueous NH 4 Cl forming [NH 4] 2 [PbCl 6]. The latter is reacted with cold concentrated sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) forming PbCl 4 as an oil. [10] Lead(II) chloride is the main precursor for organometallic derivatives of lead, such ...
