Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Zn O.It is a white powder which is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, [12] paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors ...
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise.
Zinc oxide, ZnO, is the most important manufactured compound of zinc, with a wide variety of uses. [2] It crystallizes with the Wurtzite structure. It is amphoteric , dissolving in acids to give the aqueous Zn 2+ ion and in alkali to give the zincate (a.k.a. tetrahydroxozincate) ion, [Zn(OH) 4 ] 2− .
Solutions of sodium zincate may be prepared by dissolving zinc, zinc hydroxide, or zinc oxide in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. [2] Simplified equations for these complex processes are: ZnO + H 2 O + 2 NaOH → Na 2 Zn(OH) 4 Zn + 2 H 2 O + 2 NaOH → Na 2 Zn(OH) 4 + H 2
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.
Zinc nitrate is usually prepared by dissolving zinc metal, zinc oxide, or related materials in nitric acid: Zn + 2 HNO 3 → Zn(NO 3) 2 + H 2 ZnO + 2 HNO 3 → Zn(NO 3) 2 + H 2 O. These reactions are accompanied by the hydration of the zinc nitrate. The anhydrous salt arises by the reaction of anhydrous zinc chloride with nitrogen dioxide: [1]
Zinc sulfate is produced by treating virtually any zinc-containing material (metal, minerals, oxides) with sulfuric acid. [4] Specific reactions include the reaction of the metal with aqueous sulfuric acid: Zn + H 2 SO 4 + 7 H 2 O → ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O + H 2. Pharmaceutical-grade zinc sulfate is produced by treating high-purity zinc oxide with ...
