The compressibility of a salt is strongly determined by its structure, and in particular the coordination number. For example, halides with the caesium chloride structure (coordination number 8) are less compressible than those with the sodium chloride structure (coordination number 6), and less again than those with a coordination number of 4 ...
Classical qualitative inorganic analysis is a method of analytical chemistry which seeks to find the elemental composition of inorganic compounds. It is mainly focused on detecting ions in an aqueous solution , therefore materials in other forms may need to be brought to this state before using standard methods.
A group which have similar appearing formulas are the sulfarsenides (for example cobaltite (Co,Fe)AsS). In sulfarsenides the arsenic substitutes for sulfide anions whereas in the sulfosalts the arsenic substitutes for a metal cation. [2] About 200 sulfosalt minerals are known. Examples include: [3]
Examples of important inorganic sodium salts are sodium fluoride, sodium chloride, sodium bromide, sodium iodide, sodium sulfate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. Sodium amide (NaNH 2) is the sodium salt of ammonia (NH 3).
Other examples include the vanadous Tutton salt (NH 4) 2 V(SO 4) 2 (H 2 O) 6 and the chromous Tutton salt (NH 4) 2 Cr(SO 4) 2 (H 2 O) 6. [5] In solids and solutions, the M' 2+ ion exists as a metal aquo complex [M'(H 2 O) 6] 2+. Related to the Tutton's salts are the alums, which are also double salts but with the formula MM'(SO 4) 2 (H 2 O) 12 ...
A practical example used very widely in areas drawing drinking water from chalk or limestone aquifers is the addition of sodium carbonate to the raw water to reduce the hardness of the water. In the water treatment process, highly soluble sodium carbonate salt is added to precipitate out sparingly soluble calcium carbonate.
The difference between a basic salt and an alkali is that an alkali is the soluble hydroxide compound of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal. A basic salt is any salt that hydrolyzes to form a basic solution. Another definition of a basic salt would be a salt that contains amounts of both hydroxide and other anions. White lead is an ...
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 ...
