Sodium fluoride (NaF) is an inorganic compound with the formula Na F.It is a colorless or white solid that is readily soluble in water. It is used in trace amounts in the fluoridation of drinking water to prevent tooth decay, and in toothpastes and topical pharmaceuticals for the same purpose.
The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.
The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.
This Wikipedia page provides a comprehensive list of boiling and freezing points for various solvents.
NaK with 77% potassium is eutectic and has the lowest melting point of the NaK alloys at −12.6 °C. [78] Liquid sodium is used as a heat transfer fluid in sodium-cooled fast reactors [79] because it has the high thermal conductivity and low neutron absorption cross section required to achieve a high neutron flux in the reactor. [80]
For example, 15-crown-5 has a high affinity for sodium because the cavity size of 15-crown-5 is 1.7–2.2 Å, which is enough to fit the sodium ion (1.9 Å). [ 19 ] [ 20 ] Cryptands, like crown ethers and other ionophores , also have a high affinity for the sodium ion; derivatives of the alkalide Na − are obtainable [ 21 ] by the addition of ...
FLiNaK is the name of the ternary eutectic alkaline metal fluoride salt mixture LiF-NaF-KF (46.5-11.5-42 mol %). [1] It has a melting point of 462 °C [ 2 ] and a boiling point of 1570 °C. It is used as electrolyte for the electroplating of refractory metals and compounds like titanium , tantalum , hafnium , zirconium and their borides . [ 3 ]
Because of its high solubility in water (943.2 g/L or 9.16 mol/L, at 25 °C) sodium bromide is used to prepare dense drilling fluids used in oil wells to compensate a possible overpressure arising in the fluid column and to counteract the associated trend to blow out.
