Sulfur trioxide (alternative spelling sulphur trioxide) is the chemical compound with the formula SO 3. It has been described as "unquestionably the most [economically] important sulfur oxide". [ 1 ] It is prepared on an industrial scale as a precursor to sulfuric acid .
It decomposes (disproportionates) at room temperatures to give a series of monochlorides having the general formula (BCl) n, in which n may be 8, 9, 10, or 11. n B 2 Cl 4 → B n Cl n + n BCl 3 The compounds with formulas B 8 Cl 8 and B 9 Cl 9 are known to contain closed cages of boron atoms.
Humans have processed common salt (sodium chloride) for over 8000 years, using it first as a food seasoning and preservative, and now also in manufacturing, agriculture, water conditioning, for de-icing roads, and many other uses. [83] Many salts are so widely used in society that they go by common names unrelated to their chemical identity.
Thionyl chloride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula SOCl 2.It is a moderately volatile, colourless liquid with an unpleasant acrid odour.Thionyl chloride is primarily used as a chlorinating reagent, with approximately 45,000 tonnes (50,000 short tons) per year being produced during the early 1990s, [5] but is occasionally also used as a solvent.
Osmium(V) chloride forms a black dimeric solid, isomorphic with rhenium(V) chloride. OsCl 5 is sparingly soluble in non-polar solvents. [ 2 ] It is soluble in POCl 3 to form a red-brown solution, which can crystallize OsCl 5 ·POCl 3 .
Some "chloride sulfates" are sold as solutions in water and used for water treatment. these include ferric chloride sulfate and polyaluminium sulfate chloride. The solutions may also be called "chlorosulfates" even though they do not contain a chlorosulfate group.
