Properties | Potassium hexachlororrhodium (III) is a red crystalline substance, easily soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol. |
introduction | potassium hexachlororrhodium (III) is purple-red triclinic crystal or powder. Relative density 3.291. When exposed to water, it decomposes and is slightly soluble in alcohol and potassium chloride. It is prepared by heating rhodium and potassium chloride in a chlorine gas stream or adding potassium chloride to a hot rhodium-containing chlorine ligand. Pure products can be used as analytical standard reagents. |
Use | Potassium hexachlororrhodium (III) is a metal inorganic salt, which is mainly used as an oxidant. |
preparation | (1) weigh 5kg of thiourea rhodium waste, and the component analysis results are: n 29.36%, c 19.91%, h 4.54%, s 32.40%, o 10.40% and Rh 0.88%; Place the waste in a stainless steel tray and place it in an incinerator. After closing the furnace door, use nitrogen to clear the air in the furnace, raise the temperature to 600 ℃ and keep the temperature for 40min until no obvious white smoke is generated, I .e. carbonization and decomposition are complete;(2) The black carbide obtained in step (1) is introduced into oxygen-enriched air, and when the temperature drops to room temperature, the incineration residue is taken out to obtain 368.5g residue;(3) After grinding and mixing the residue obtained in step (2) with 370g of potassium chloride, it is transferred to a tubular furnace to raise the temperature to 600 ℃ and feed chlorine gas for reaction, A mixture of potassium hexachlororhodium (III) potassium is obtained. |
