Calcium Format Chemical Reactions

Calcium formate can be used to prepare solutions of other water-soluble formate salts. For example, the addition of nickel (II) sulfate to a solution of calcium formate results in the precipitation of insoluble calcium sulfate, leaving nickel (II) formate in solution:

Ca(OOCH)2 + NiSO1 → CaSO4 + Ni(OOCH)2

In a similar reaction, sulfuric acid reacts with calcium formate to provide low-cost solutions of formic acid:

Ca(OOCH)2 + H2 SO4 → CaSO4 + 2HCOOH

When heated, calcium formate decomposes to calcium carbonate and formaldehyde:

Ca(OOCH)2 → CaCO3 + HCHO

Continued heating at higher temperatures results in the breakdown of these decomposition products:

HCHO → CO + H2

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

Calcium formate can be used as a low-cost reducing agent in the conversion of carboxylic acids to aldehydes. This process is an effective substitute for the troublesome Rosenmund reduction.

(RCOO)2Ca + (HCOO)2CA → 2RCH + 2CaCO3

ZINC CHLORIDE DRY PURIFIED

Product Short Description: ZINC CHLORIDE DRY PURIFIED

Product Technical Specification:

Physical Properties of Zinc Chloride

Zinc Chloride formula: ZnCl2.

Molecular Weight of Zinc Chloride: 136.315 gms/ mole

The boiling point of Zinc Chloride is - 732 °C

The Melting point of Zinc Chloride is - 290 °C

Its density is 2.907.

It forms white, odourless, very deliquescent granules.

Molten zinc chloride is viscous in nature and has a relatively low electrical conductivity.

Remarks:

Zinc Chloride is a chemical compound, composed of zinc and chlorine. It is a colourless liquid and it exhibits hygroscopic qualities, i.e., it attracts and captures the water molecule present in the environment. It is mildly corrosive towards metals. It is an ionic salt that is essential for the synthesis of protein, fats, and cholesterol. It may cause burns to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes.
