Tantalum pentoxide, also known as tantalum(V) oxide, is the inorganic compound with the formula Ta 2 O 5. It is a white solid that is insoluble in all solvents but is attacked by strong bases and hydrofluoric acid. Ta 2 O 5 is an inert material with a high refractive index and low absorption (i.e. colourless), which makes it useful for coatings ...
Like niobium, tantalum is barely soluble in dilute solutions of hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric and phosphoric acids due to the precipitation of hydrous Ta(V) oxide. [36] In basic media, Ta can be solubilized due to the formation of polyoxotantalate species.
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. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
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.
Tantalum(V) ethoxide is a metalorganic compound with formula Ta 2 (OC 2 H 5) 10, often abbreviated as Ta 2 (OEt) 10. It is a colorless solid that dissolves in some organic solvents but hydrolyzes readily. [3] It is used to prepare films of tantalum(V) oxide.
The solubility of tantalum pentachloride increases slightly for the following series of aromatic hydrocarbons: benzene < toluene < m-xylene < mesitylene. This is reflected in the deepening of colour of the solutions from pale yellow to orange. Tantalum pentachloride is less soluble in cyclohexane and carbon tetrachloride than in the aromatic ...
Lithium tantalate is produced by treating tantalum(V) oxide with lithium oxide. The use of excess alkali gives water-soluble polyoxotantalates. Single crystals of Lithium tantalate are pulled from the melt using the Czochralski method. [2]
The noble gases do not react with water, but their solubility in water increases when going down the group. Argon atoms in water appear to have a first hydration shell composed of 16±2 water molecules at a distance of 280–540 pm, and a weaker second hydration shell is found out to 800 pm. Similar hydration spheres have been found for krypton ...
