Chemical compound
Praseodymium(III) carbonate is an inorganic compound , with a chemical formula of Pr2 (CO3 )3 . The anhydrous form is olive green, and many of its hydrates such as heptahydrate and octahydrate are known.[ 3] They are all insoluble in water .[ 2]
Preparation
Praseodymium(III) carbonate can be obtained by the hydrolysis of praseodymium(III) chloroacetate :[ 2] [ 4]
2 Pr(C2 Cl3 O2 )3 + 3 H2 O → Pr2 (CO3 )3 + 6 CHCl3 + 3 CO2
It can also be obtained by reacting sodium bicarbonate saturated with carbon dioxide with a praseodymium chloride solution.[ 4]
Chemical properties
Praseodymium(III) carbonate is soluble in acids, and emits carbon dioxide :[ 5]
Pr2 (CO3 )3 + 6 H+ → 2 Pr3+ + 3 H2 O + 3 CO2 ↑
However, it is insoluble in water.[ 2]
Other compounds
Praseodymium(III) carbonate forms compounds with N2 H4 , such as Pr2 (CO3 )3 •12N2 H4 •5H2 O which is a pale green crystal that is slightly soluble in water but insoluble in benzene , with d20°C = 1.873 g/cm3 .[ 6]
